Written in
an upbeat Latin rhythmic
form, Chips, and Salsa,
Too begins with
percussion under a nice
rhythmic motif in the
winds. A tuneful minor
melody in the clarinets,
well below the break,
continues above this
Latin groove after the
intro. The tubas (and
cross-cued for euphoniums
and bass clarinets) and
flutes have a melody
together beginning in m.
43, and the rest of the
band is gradually layered
in the mix until
everybody is contributing
to the mix. Latin
rhythms, featured
percussion, and lots of
nice melodies for the
winds makes this a piece
your students and
audiences will love! Pay
careful attention to the
articulation because
without it you will lose
the rhythmic feel. The
tempo is marked
quarter=152, but you can
play it faster if you
like. Too slow, and you
can't dance to it! The
syncopated rhythms are
infectious and you will
be surprised at how
quickly your band catches
on. The ranges are
perfect for young players
and there are plenty of
doublings to assist
smaller bands. Use as
many percussionists as
possible, but insist they
groove together and don't
cover up the winds.
Remember, it's a dance.
Have fun!
