Name common rehearsal marks used in wind ensemble scores.

• A. Numbers such as 1 and 2 used to indicate sections.
• B. Letters such as A and B to indicate sections.
• C. Dynamic markings.
• D. Tempo markings.

Answer: (B)

Rehearsal marks are navigational anchors in a score, and in wind ensemble literature they’re typically letters such as A and B. Using letters provides simple, stable reference points across pages that players and the conductor can quickly locate during rehearsals, even if measures are added, removed, or shuffled. This makes it easy to communicate where to re-enter without tying the cue to a specific tempo or dynamic. Dynamic markings show how loud to play, and tempo markings indicate speed, but neither serves as a universal navigation point for fast, coordinated entries. So letters-as-rehearsal-marks are the standard, practical way to mark sections for rehearsal in wind ensemble scores.
