NEW 29 Scene Change – Cut last six bars (bagpipes will take over).
31 Exit Music – Have all songs prepared. We’ll probably end up doing #3 “Almost Like Being In Love”.

Percussionist Notes
15 – Play chimes starting 6 measures from end. Will be cued over music. Should sound like church wedding bells. Sparse hits, use your judgement – just alludes to wedding bells.
17 – End of 17 as music has stopped. Drum roll – When Mr. Lundie says “Ay lad, ye’re married” then play full on wedding bells solo. Both will be cued.
25 – Funeral – Play snare roll under first part with bagpiper. Then bagpiper plays solo with dancer. At end of dance as they exit you will play light timpani hits – will be cued. End section will be: hit – hit – long roll – several hits (all soft as cued).

BAGPIPES Notes
16 – Play “Itchy Fingers” style when timpani stops. Will be obvious. Orchestra stops and timpani plays solo for 4 bars, then you come in. This is the “Entrance of the Clans”.
25 – FROM STAGE – Funeral – You enter on the last chord of 24b (Dance music) and play a Funeral Procession with a snare roll under you. Make a definite stop, then begin the Funeral Dance (solo dancer will perform to your music). You will exit stage with funeral procession.
