I'm Chris Behrens, PHYS '08. I played alto sax in the band for 5 years and managed the band during the 2006-2007 season. I also finished the Mike Brown sweep in my last year in the band.

To Do

Arranging

Cheers

Blue Orchid (.sib .mid) - The guitar riff from "Blue Orchid" by The White Stripes.
Jump On It (Edited Version) (.sib .mid) - Now in the key of B flat. I think it sounds a lot better and is easier to play than my original version, and hopefully gives the drums a better idea of what I'd like them to be doing during this cheer.
Let's Go Red (.sib .mid) - As good of a transcription of one of UConn's cheers as I could get by ear. Basically another version of BU, and the title is open for change (just the best I could think of at the time).
The Office (.sib .mid) - Theme from The Office (US).
The Price Is Right Losing Horn (.sib) - Pretty self-explanatory, arranged by myself and Will Schmarder.

Songs

Round Up - nearly finished, based on this song famous from NFL films and Campbell's soup commercials.

Wiki

Fill out history pages for the last six years while I still remember what happened.
Standardize the rest of the history pages.

Favorite songs

Children of Sanchez - the best song the band has.
Rebel Yell - maybe the most energy out of any song in the library.
Holiday - also a very high energy song.
Victory Dance - enough said.

Least favorite songs

Get Ready for This - too repititious.
Magnum P.I. - TV show themes go out of style, like this one.
Hang on Sloopy - especially after the Niagara fiasco.

Songs I'd like to read

Dead to me

Eugene Binda, Jr. - The ultimate home ice advantage!
Random Colgate fan in the green shirt who was being an asshole and pretend conducting when Dan was conducting the band.
That's Alright, That's Okay - I've never liked this cheer.
ECAC officiating in 2007-2008 - Apparently you *can* fight yourself and get a 5 minute major for it.
ECAC officiating in 2008-2009 - The Ithaca Screwjob.
Clarkson Pep Band - "A bastard every one."

-===To Do===
-====Arranging:====
-*Re-arranging 161 Freeze-Frame: There are a lot of errors to the original, balance is off in the arrangement, and there are no parts for tenor drum, glockenspiel, or auxiliary percussion.  Since most of the work was done by Michael Steele, I should have this finished in two week's time.
-*I Got You (I Feel Good): Just don't have time for this right now.
-*Come On Eileen: Someday, but probably not this semester.
-*China Grove: En queue.
-*September: En queue.
-*My Generation: En queue.
