Someone posted on the facebook group, that the Friend published a cute little graphic on Praise to the Man in 2011. HERE is the link for that.
But, if you are like me, you might want something bigger than an 8 1/2 by 11 1/2.
That is where tiling a Pdf comes in. Except adobe has changed, and it appears that there is no longer a convenient little "tile" button.
But FEAR NOT! It is still doable. And I will tell you how.
When you go to print, click on the "poster" button. Then, you will have to adjust the tile scale - I used 300%. (*USE 250% , 300% DOES NOT FIT A STANDARD POSTER BOARD*) At this point DO NOT click "return" or else it will print. Instead, click on the "cut marks" box, and you will have a lovely 12 - 15 page layout - WHICH, will work, HOWEVER, if you unclick the "cut marks" box, the print format will readjust into a lovely 9 page format that you see below (and then you won't have to cut out as much white space as I will, since I realized that you need to unclick the "cut marks" box just a little too late)
I also plan to print the picture that has Joseph Smith standing like this, which you can find HERE,
just in case the little ones have a hard time getting it .

Stand for the Right in C Major
As, I have stated in earlier posts, it is relatively easy to go to lds.org, find your song and then transpose the key (in this case to have a song with no or little accidentals so that it can be played with an 8 bell set){I have also done this for "Once There Was a Snowman to play with my 8 bell set}. Then lds.org transposes it, (it almost doesn't look different other than the notes being different) and you hit print.
However, as Camille at Camille's Primary Ideas pointed out, The Friend published a simplified version of "Stand for the Right" which is also in C Major
(and it's cuter than my screenshot of the transposed song from LDS.org!) (And since it is a full size pdf, it prints in a larger font than when you transpose)
And to go along with Camille's plan for Stand for the Right with ringing the bells on the "be true" part, I made a bell chart:

Stand for the Right Boxes
I am planning to do the Stand for the Right Boxes. I looked and looked and looked for a blog post on it, but came up with nothing. So I went to the best time sucker on the internet - The LDS Chorister's facebook page. I typed in "Stand for the Right boxes" and it took a bit of scrolling, but finally came across Melanie M. B.'s post.(dated March 2) She submitted a file titled: "Stand for the Right Building Blocks" (that you might be able to find under the files tab.)
Took me forever to find that.
But before I delve into wrapping 12 boxes, I will use Camille's Stand for the Right lesson plan with the bells. I have the song transposed into C major (you can do so using the tabs at the top of the song in lds.org) and then hit the print button. (Right next to the tempo button). I only have an 8 bell set, so I needed to transpose so that I could use my bells. I will have to make a new bell chart since it no longer matches Camille's chart (of course, NONE of her charts match my bells, because my notes are different colors than hers)
