Scored for limited instrumentation with careful attention to instrument ranges, and written out solos over super easy changes, Don’t Try This at Home will be accessible to the smallest and youngest ensembles. Loaded with student and audience appeal, this tune is a great contest/concert selection. Go on, try it, we dare you!

Plays easy and sounds cool. That's the perfect combination found in this carefully-crafted blues tune for younger bands. The trumpets and bones take the lead, with the saxes providing interesting counter lines. Then several bars of full ensemble lead to an open solo section for any instruments over simple Blues changes, giving young players the opportunity to improvise. If they aren't quite ready for that yet, suggested solos are provided. After the solos, the bones, tenors and bari get to shine playing some fun unison licks which lead back to the whole band playing a big finish. This chart will sound great even for bands with limited experience, instrumentation, and rehearsal time. Don't Miss The Bus!

This playful medium-tempo swinger features a smooth, self-assured melody that glides along a cool, slightly altered blues progression. Trumpet and alto sax carry the melody at first before passing it off to the brass section; saxophones cleverly punctuate the brass section with heavily accented chords. The saxophones take the melody the third time around, while the brass offers incisive interjections here and there. A solo section follows that features just the right amount of background writing that enhances the proceedings without ever getting in the way; the solo section may be repeated as desired to feature additional soloists. A swinging ensemble follows the solos, starting off at a simmer and gradually heating up to the exciting full-ensemble shout chorus. Don’t Let These Blues Fool You is sure to be a favorite for concert and contest!

Vending Machine isn’t Broke is an excellent contemporary chart for big band by Craig Skeffington. Written in a modern straight 8th style, it features all sections of the band with improvisational space for alto sax. Fully notated rhythm section parts, moderate brass ranges, a catchy melody and unique harmonies make this a favorite for festival performance! Intriguing!

This classic Clarence Williams composition was written at the very beginning of the Jazz Age and speaks in the Count Basie language. An 8 measure written piano solo feeds into a quiet full ensemble melody with brass in bucket mutes. (Open in stand will do) Well placed unisons and ensemble writing leads to a 16 bar tenor sax solo (suggested written solo is provided) then builds to a final full ensemble shout chorus a minor third higher. Includes an optional flute part. The unique surprise ending will treat the audience and band to a few happy moments. Hint: (Opt. one bar vocal ending).

A swinging, happy toe-tapper in the Basie tradition that just won't quit; this is a great concert or contest selection for mid-level bands. The (written) piano solo starts things out, followed by one (or all) of the saxes introducing the melody. Then the brass join in and the full ensemble plays up to a basic 12 bar blues solo section for any instrument. The ensemble sections, solis and dynamics that follow provide lots of contrast and excitement. There's even more than one shout chorus. Just when you think it's over, it keeps on goin'. A guaranteed winner!

This is a great contest/concert selection for band's at this grade level. Once the notes get under the fingers it swings hard and shows off the whole band. The ranges and rhythms are very reasonable, but the excitement generated is off the charts! The intro is a piano vamp, followed by the saxes playing the melody in unison. The trumpets then join the altos, while the bones and tenors play some background punches. The bones and saxes trade off playing the bridge, and then full ensemble plays up to the open solo section. Following the solos, everything quiets way down and the gradual buildup to a real flag-waver of an ending begins.

Can't decide whether to do a swing or a rock chart at your holiday concerts? How about both styles in the same arrangement? It works great in this creative version of a well-known carol. No solos, and lots of unisons help save rehearsal time, and the use of both rock and swing provides an opportunity to teach and practice the difference between the two styles. It's a guaranteed winner!
