Pep band Songs

[charliefreak]

Hey TB
I got called up to play for a couple of weeks with a local university's pep band. Which is ironic for a 21 year old community college drop out, but I'm not complaining. The director saw me play at a bar a couple nights ago and I gave him my card.... Anywho

First gig is on Tuesday w/ no rehearsals or time w/ music..

What songs should I brush up on?... or hear for the first time for that matter.

Thanks!
CF

Usually, a pep band has written music. It's not uncommon for there to be an electric bass part... but be prepared to read tuba parts (just take the note up an octave for correct pitch.
