23.01.2022 Time to update all 28 Band Folders for 2019. So take 38 scores out and file them away; then put 33 new scores into each folder. That means I handled about 2000 sheets of music- hopefully they are all in the right spot!! Now to just track down and/or transcribe a few missing parts and it’ll all be done
