The title says it all! Introduced by a classic roll-off drum cadence, Blues March incorporates the march pulse, with an easy bluesy melodic line and harmonic structure that young musicians are sure to enjoy! A solo section includes written lines for alto sax and trumpet, and can be opened up for more solos if you wish. The rhythm section and feel switch between march and Swing figures, making Blues March an exciting and fun musical experience.

In these challenging economic times, what better way to show creativity and compliance than this hilarious setting of the traditional Jingle Bells? The opening announcement reminds the audience that our budgets have been cut and the band has been forced to reduce the amount of new instrument purchases. As a result, the band went to the toy shop and bought several new instruments including the kazoo, toy drum, toy xylophone, and trash can lid cymbals among others. Following the tuning of the toys, the swing setting kicks off and features the toys in melody, improvisation and response quotes throughout. Now that’s what I call using our resources!.
