A brief drum solo kicks off this patriotic arrangement. Melody is introduced in the bari sax trumpet and optional vibraphone. Written solos and chord changes are provided for the trumpet and bari sax. A sax soli leads into a final shout chorus which demonstrates the type of writing you've come to expect from Bryan Kidd.
