    NOTES
    • Tempos should be as marked, with little leeway. Keep it moving but don’t rush.
    • Soloists may be amplified. Chorus also, if small.
    • Repeats in songs B, D, and F are optional, for separate use or longer medley.
    • Piano part is optional, but even a slightly-out-of-tune upright will help. Play all cues if it is omitted;
    adding the horn piano cues in song B is at the conductor’s discretion.
    • Electronic piano (synth) can be used for piano. One player can play both parts plus electric
    harpsichord (tinny synth harpsichord sound, cued). Don’t over-amplify.
    • Electric bass (Bass Guitar) is an important part. If in a pinch acoustic bass must be used for this part
    as well, it must be amplified, and play only the simplified licks shown in small notes in several
    places. Don’t over-amplify; balance with the whole ensemble.
    • One solo Tuba should play the bass line in song F, not Electric Bass.
    • Some percussion parts are marked optional.
    • The brief Kazoo part in song G can be done with many people. It requires a good poker face. Cued
    in band instruments.
    • Song H makes the safest bulletproof ending, with the Revised-Voicing button chord in the band.
    Song I is riskier but beloved by a certain generation of Beatles fans (. . . don’t forget the chair creak).
