Tonight I'll be performing with my brother and several members of his church in a Chicago tribute band! We'll be playing a full set of hit songs made famous by the group. Instruments tonight include keyboards, two guitars, drums, three trumpets, two trombones and flute.
Update: Here's a video of us doing "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is"

That was pretty darn good. Just a couple of things could have been better.
Trumpet player need to rehearse a little more. The background vocalist should have sang an octive higher.
The trombone player really captured Jimmy Pankow's style.
I enjoyed this.
Thanks! We only rehearsed all together once... about 45 minutes before the actual performance.
I love it!! Were did you get the music and are there more videos?

By the way, my brother ordered a couple of Chicago arrangement books at a music store and that's what the horn players used. For me, I've played these songs in the past and so I just played them by memory. With perfect pitch, you can get away with that. :)
I don't memorize lyrics though, so I usually end up reading them on the music stand. But the music is all played by ear.
