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.
