This fun version of our national anthem is dedicated to all the band kids that have to stand or sit quietly through endless school ceremonies only to play a few notes. This arrangement is sort of a Dixieland march that should spice up any school function!

Have fun!

“One More For The Road” is a soulful ballad in 3/4 to feature your star alto sax player. It’s got big Saturday Night Live moments for the band to dig into while also giving space for your soloist to stretch out on some blues.

“Dr. Alvi is a musical tribute to revered Winnipeg Physician and avid Jazz fan Dr. Abdul Alvi. It’s a fun and happy swinger which features your top notch trombone section! It also has great section parts for trumpets and saxes as well as solo for trumpet and a huge shout chorus.

“Longhorn” is an exciting epic modal tune from Jason Logue. It’s got great parts for your saxophones and solo spots for alto and bari sax as well as trumpet. The repetitive nature of the melody and background shots as well as the simple chord changes make this up tempo tune playable by young bands.

“Round shot” is a tribute to the late great Cannonball Adderly from composer Andy Ballantyne. It’s inspired by his great tune “Here Dis”. The high energy soulful fun of this chart is infectious.

The melody of “Big Mood” is both haunting and modern sounding. The easy groove and simple passages should be easy for your group while challenging your strong sax section.

This tongue in cheek arrangement is a must for every band. It’s a tip of the hat to the classic sounds of the big band era. Guaranteed fun!

Inspired by island rhythms “Blue Water Sailing Club” is a fun way to get your band exposed to different rhythmic grooves. With lots of unison and easy section playing. This will be a fun and confident addition to your concert season

“Blues in the Moment” is an easy swinger written with pedagogy in mind. It’s good some classic swing rhythmic figures and a fun blues solo section as well as a chance for your young band to work on accidentals.
