I've noticed a recent trend by some music publishers to publish brass band sets which come complete with what the publishers call 'World Parts'. These are parts that include Horns in F (covering flugel and Eb horns) Tenor Trombones in bass clef concert pitch, Bass Trombone in treble clef and Euphoniums and Basses in bass clef concert pitch.
The other fact here is that these arrangements are very expensive. My own band having recently purchased the Harry Potter arrangement for about £40.00 which included 'World Parts'. Why should brass bands have to pay for additional parts that they will not use?
So then, back to the title of the thread: Are we being ripped-off!
