With a catchy melody, jazzy call-and-response licks, and a fun Latin feel, Hop, Skip ‘Nda Jump really bounces off the page. It initially features the 1st trumpet, and alto then adds in the rest of the band to Hop, Skip 'nda Jump their way in to a great concert closer. The solo section is open with straight ahead changes and simple backgrounds then a bridge that gives each section a chance to leap up and take their turn. It ends with a big shout chorus and even with modest brass ranges it's scored so that it sounds full and exciting!

If I Gave My Heart is a gorgeous swing ballad for younger bands. Lots of ensemble writing will help the band learn to play together, but there is also space for a short sax soli and a short brass soli. No improv is required, but your piano player gets to shine with lots of written fills between melody phrases. While written at an easy level, If I Gave My Heart is perfect for any ensemble that wants a ballad and a chance to take a little pressure off those chops!! Keep swingin’!
