A high energy rock chart loaded with appeal. While trumpets are featured on the opening figure and chorus, saxes and bones have the melody throughout. Utilizing repetitive rhythms and fingerings that lay well on the instrument, the difficulty level of this piece is easily attainable by younger, less experienced groups with less than perfect instrumentation. Easy changes and written out solos will encourage developing soloists, yet will also showcase mature players. Appeal, accessibility, and modest ranges make this chart an excellent concert or contest selection, and an all-around winner for your band.
