Re: help
If you need that much help, I would suggest asking the person who sits in the next chair. We can't hear what you're playing, or give suggestions on what changes to make at this point.
On bari, especially if you're just starting out, concentrate first on the notes and rhythms that are written, and LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN as the band plays together. If the director hears something you should be doing differently, you'll hear about it.
Just dive right in and work at it. Practice, and you'll catch on. Bari is not often given room for improvising, especially in a beginners Jazz band, if that's what you're in. If you really get stuck, ask the director for suggestions.
Good luck!
