The songs listed below include songs performed for the public and also those that were performed in previous years and rehearsed but not performed in 2004. Each season includes evaluating new music and preparing songs for future performances. Songs rehearsed but not yet performed in public before the end of 2004 are indicated with an asterisk (*); some of these might never be performed in public, but playing them at rehearsals is a part of the big band experience.
For an interesting contrast, compare this to the list of songs the band rehearsed during a five-month period ten years earlier.
