Today I tried something new.   I did my first attempt at what I'm calling the Speed Arranging Challenge.  The goal is to get as much done of some kind of arrangement in one stream with the chat having a good chunk of input.  Today's chat chose percussion ensemble instrumentation, and the fourth movement of Tchaik IV.

Four hours and forty minutes later - I have a roughly completed arrangement.  You can always go back and watch the entire stream later on my YouTube channel.  The goal of my series on YouTube is to show my process when writing and hopefully it helps newer arrangers in some way.  Here's the audio in case you missed the stream.  Just... keep in mind I was trying to write as fast as I could.  There's a few things I already know I'd need to rework.
