The Flexbo Package is the best way to have the advantage of orchestral writing while using a smaller ensemble. The foundation of a Broadway orchestration is the rhythm section: Piano, Bass and Drums. The remainder of the orchestra -- woodwinds, brass and strings -- are the "melodic" parts added to provide richness, depth and tonal colour. The number of plays required for these added parts may be as few as nine and more often twenty to twenty-five. The four Flexbo parts -- A, B, C and D -- contain the essential musical lines heard from the "melodic" instruments in the full orchestration. While the best results will be achieved using all four Flexbo parts, they have been cued so that even fewer of them can be used.

1 x Flexbo A: Trumpet
1 x Flexbo B: Alto Saxophone, Clarinet & optional Flute & Piccolo
1 x Flexbo C: Tenor Saxophone & Clarinet
1 x Flexbo D: Trombone
2 x Percussion 1 & 2: (Mallet Player is optional)
Trap Set Player: Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Tom-Toms, Floor Tom, Cow Bell, Wood Block, Small & Large Triangle, Temple Blocks, Cymbals (various Suspended, Splash, Chip, Ride), Hi-Hat & Gong.
Mallet Player: Glockenspiel (Bells), Vibraphone, Xylophone, Marimba, Snare Drum, Field Drum (or Snare Drum w/o snares), Bongo Drums, Suspended Cymbal, Piatti, Finger Cymbals, Small Triangle, Cow Bell, Wood Block, Ship's Bell, Temple Blocks, Maracas, Castanets, Cabasa, Tambourine, Ratchet, Sandpaper Blocks, Bird Whistle & Siren Whistle.
1 x Guitar (doubling Banjo & Twelve String Guitar); optional
1 x Bass
1 x Piano (playing from Piano-Conductor's Score sent with rehearsal material)

The Flexbo arrangement has been designed to sound complete when played by Piano only, or with the additional of one to eight players. The Piano is essential and must use the Piano-Conductor's Score.

Parts A, B, C and D must be added in alphabetical order. (Part B may not be used without Part A, etc.)

The rhythm section players may be added to the Piano in any sequence, although Bass and one Percussion (on Trap Set) are more valuable than the two optional parts, the Guitar and the second Percussion (on mallet instruments).
