Scored in the key of F this chart begins with a slow chorale written for the full horn section. A drum fill sets the tempo for the bright gospel rock section with trumpet tutti lead. An E above tuning C is all you need for your lead trumpet. No solos... just excellent ensemble writing.

Consider this great Frank Mantooth original for your contest or festival repertoire. The opening trumpet/bone chorale is an excellent intro before the up-tempo samba beat takes over. Frank features a small combo of tenor trumpet and bone on the head which should give you plenty of options for your solo section. Powerful block scoring sets up your drummer for some hot fills throughout. This pro-sounding chart has very reasonable range demands. A festival winner!

Here's another Sharp arrangement of one of Johnny Mark's most familiar holiday classics. After a lush rubato chorale this up-tempo chart moves effectively between rock swing and salsa. A slow swing tag at the end is sure to bring down the house.
