Crescendo from reeds: ► left hand rises and ba¬ ton steadies the beat. ◄ Want a solo? Call for it by a graceful point to the musician—so. Want To Lead A Band? SAMMY KAYE SHOWS THE WAY “Music, Maestro, please.” He waves his hands—and there it is. Many view¬ ers suspect that a band leader’s sig¬ nals have about as much meaning as a wife’s promise to keep within the family budget; but Sammy Kaye, who should know, says otherwise. Here, for budding batonists who aspire to his So You Want to Lead a Band show, are a few of the signals Sammy uses to keep his men in harmony. Try ’em. Soften the volume by slow¬ ly lowering the left hand. The baton holds the tempo. ^ This is Sammy's sig¬ nal for attention, be¬ fore the downbeat. The left hand rising ► slowly, thus, brings full orchestra to crescendo.
