Hal Leonard has released Hybrid Editions for concert band. At first glance, Hybrid Editions look like a standard printed score, but each one includes a unique access code to all parts digitally (as PDFs) via MyLibrary.com. This allows directors to print as many copies as needed for their ensemble, download parts for digital viewing on tablets or computers and keep a secure backup for future use. With Hal Leonard Hybrid Editions, directors get the best of both worlds: the professional quality of a printed score and the convenience of unlimited digital access. These editions are ideal for: unbalanced sections that need additional parts; middle school musicians who frequently lose or damage their music; and long-term use without worrying about preserving original parts; The first Hybrid Editions are available now as part of Hal Leonard’s popular Discovery Plus Concert Band series (grade 2): “Barbie Girl,” “Taylor Swift Eras” and “Highlights from How to Train Your Dragon.”
