Two short notes in a row come clean when you drill each one alone. In the third part of King George V's Army, isolate the cut E, then the cut F, then put them back together — and keep your hands light, because squeezing is what makes back-to-back short notes slow.
A band break is a count-in, not a pause. Meter every break in the tempo of the tune you're going TO — usually two beats, starting on the last beat of the tune you're finishing. Everyone lands together and everyone knows the new tempo.
Color-code the rhythms and the tune shrinks. Highlight each rhythmic pattern in its own color and a four-part march collapses into a handful of repeating figures — some of which appear exactly once, so you know precisely what to drill.
