What is the best music writing software for marching band and orchestra music?
I just graduated from high school, when I was in the band I would make stuff up on the marimba all the time. My band director told me I would be a very good composer. I just need to know what the best tools are to compose marching band music and orchestra music.
Answer:
Most likely Sibelius; it's pretty much the premier sheet music software on the market. If you want something cheaper, perhaps check out Finale products.

Let The Music Rule At Your Next Garden Party In Phoenix Invite A Live Music Band
We in Arizona love our homes and are proud of them. We want to share our most precious possession with our friends and nothing can be better than having a great home worming party in the garden with a live music band playing in the background.
Organizing a successful garden party requires a lot of work and planning. If the party is large and you can afford it, get a professional party organizer. If you enjoy doing it yourself, get ready for a lot of work.
The venue
If you have a new lawn, and do not want it trampled by the guests, make sure there is enough space on the deck for everyone, or limit the number of people you are inviting. Another idea is to have a party indoors and leave the door to the garden open for those who would like to take a stroll. This would solve the problem of where to put the band: placing large speakers in the garden is a challenge.
Weather
If you insist on having your party outdoors, make sure you have enough covered space, or get a tent. Even the best organizer cannot promise sun and soft breeze to the guest, so the shelter from the elements has to be taken into account.
Garden
Protect your new lawn and keep the foot traffic off it by placing strategic stepping-stones to create a path. Place garden lights along the path and hang Chinese lanterns on the low branches of trees. They provide not only the illumination, but create a great romantic atmosphere. Place several benches along the path as well and create several focal points for your guests.
Food
Keeping it simple is always good advice. For smaller, parties barbeque is great idea, if you have a volunteer to do it. It will do nothing for your dress, hair and makeup to smell like smoke, or, even worse, like hamburgers. Salads, cold cuts, fruit cocktails, fresh vegetables with dips, canapés, deviled eggs, all the old favorites will keep guests full without making food the focus of the whole event.
Drinks
Be imaginative. Instead of traditional cooler fool of beer, get pitchers with sangria or punch, or mix some champagne cocktails. If your party is during the day, make sure your guests have enough to eat before they start drinking, otherwise you might have some of them in the pool in their clothes, or sleeping behind the azalea bush.
Music
The Phoenix wedding music band will create the atmosphere all of their own. During the day, good professional and experienced bands know to keep the music in the background, but in the evening, the music can come into the front by lively disco numbers that will get everyone on their feet. Make sure that you provide shade for the band during the day.
With good live music band, great friends, good weather, food and drinks, your home warming party will be the talk of Phoenix. If the weather stays lovely, sunny and pleasantly warm, then you will know that you have done everything right and that even the heaven is smiling at you.
