Both measures had B natural when I saw it.  If there are Bbs now, then 
obviously Mike has fixed  it!


This part was written by a composer/organist/trombonist/euphonium player 
for a Besson Euph in Bb.  Yeah, it's a blow!  We're playing it again 
next season - I'm looking forward to it - it is really fun.
