COON RAPIDS BAND STUDENTS
You may be able to play your music along with your computer! To open and play a midi file on your computer you will need a sound card, speakers, and a midi player program on your computer. Many computers come equipped with all of these features. If yours is one of them, clicking on the file link will start the file playing. If you have a sound card and speakers but no midi player you can download a free one from the web. Here are some possibilities.
Windows users can get Crescendo at:

Macintosh computers can run midi files using Quicktime player. You can get it free at:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/products/qt/
This is also available for windows. Be sure to check the requirements at:

(Apple also archives older versions for older macs.)
