This year for marcing band we are playing bicycle by queen, arranged by our band director.
In one part the flutes have a measure of sixteenth notes of High F# and G# (the ones above the staff) the tempo is really fast and the fingerings for the two notes are not easy to switch. Does anyone have any alternate fingerings for either of these two notes or possibly a trill key for one of them? this would really help our entire section
thanks!
Fast fingerings

Assuming that you don't have a C# trill key, the basic trill fingering is to finger the F# normally and trill to G# by lifting the left hand thumb and first finger.
See The Woodwind Fingering Guide for other alternate fingerings:
