\[Help\] How to buy tickets for Stray Kids RUN IT Tokyo concert (from outside Japan)?

Hi Everyone! I’am a stay from Turkey and I really wanna buy Straykids Tokyo concert tickets I’m a fan of them since pre-debut and I finally gained the money to go Tokyo to their concert because Tokyo is the closest destination for me to join their concerts like korea is not very close to me as a location so I really need help to buy tickets. I hope you guys can help me out.

Concert: Stray Kids World Tour **〈**RUN IT**〉** JAPAN
Date/Venue: August 29-30, 2026, Japan National Stadium,

Would really appreciate any help from Stays who've been to concerts in Japan before. Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hey there,

Can anyone recomend an trombone solo/concerto at difficulty level 3 or 4?

We’re a european comunity band and want to perform a piece with an former member of ousrs who now is a prpfessional orchestra trombonist.

So the piece shouldn‘t be too dificult for the prchestra but the solo part can actually be nearly limitless ;)

I‘m looking for something like ‚Colours‘ by Bert Appermont but in less dificult. I‘ve been a member of an Orchestra performing this magnificent piece. But apparently our small Wind band isn‘t able to perform it.

Would be very greatful for recommendations.

Thanks in advance, greetings from Germany and sorry for my english😅

I'm thinking of Performing Ghost Garden, Joy - adam tan or Melody in Repose, can someone provide their feedback on these pieces?

Could you tell me if this song has an inspiration from a american march like Sousa?

I feel like this question has probably been asked before but what do you guys think of Incantation and Dance by John Barnes Chance. I played 1st Alto sax on it. I personally love this piece, I found it challenging, but fun to play at the same time. But what do y'all think?

How does it work? Do the PDFs just disappear after the performance or some predetermined amount of time? What’s stopping unscrupulous band leaders from making copies?

I was studying Paul Lavender’s transcription of Symphonic Dances from West Side Story and I was curious as to how he chooses when to give string lines to brass vs woodwinds? Or both? For instance, in a quiet part where it is strictly strings how does he know how many voices to write into the wind band transcription? How does he decide between the timbres?

Hi all,

I direct a community concert band and I'm feeling super stuck trying to program for our next concert! The theme is connection and community. The group ranges from grade 2-4 level. Drop any suggestions and I'll give them a listen. Thank you!

Hello! I was just asked to play at a bar in less than 3 weeks, and it’s a solo type thing. I’ve never done anything like this, the closest would be when I played a recital in my senior year of high school, four years ago. I’ve never played something completely solo on flute, especially on a stage. Does anyone have any recommendations for pieces to play? I’m nervous!!!

TLDR; Need solo flute piece recommendations, 5-8 min. time slot with 2 weeks to learn!

Thank you!!

Hello!

I'm a Canadian wind ensemble composer, and I'm looking to create score & sound videos for my pieces so far to make them more easily accessible for educators' perusal. What's the best way to go about making them in the most professional matter? I like the way that the Alfred/Hal Leonard videos have the page turning animation and would ideally like to have something like that.

Any advice is appreciated, as is checking out my site if you wish to do so :)
