Oh yeah, we used to do the same thing-- the school would buy one set of sheet music with X number of parts and if we needed extra copies, we'd just Xerox.
Yeah. I hated when we only had music for E Flat French horns, when all of us played French horns in F. I hated having to transcribe in my head as I played.

ACK! Me too!! That was such a PITA.
Ok - I think we need to do another former-French Horn player roll call. There are a lot more of us than I remember.
Me!
Former French Horn player here.
That's four - we're halfway to a full section.
Get enough of us and we can play a John Williams score. I was just listening to Jurassic Park.
Oooh... Symphonic Metamorphoses!
When I was in Jr. high and high school, I was the only one with a French Horn that my parents bought for me (it lacked the thumb valve, making the high notes more difficult to play). Anyway, just the other day I was wishing my parents still had it, cuz it'd be fun to try to play it again.
Kat, I have a copy of Brave New World I can send you.
