This is the ideal song to handout to your band first. It is very easy. All the rhythms are played together, and the song consists of quarter, half, and whole notes only. Only the percussion play eighth notes. In the first section, all intervals are step wise except for two notes. There is a drum solo for four measures, then the second theme is played. This section has some intervals of a third, but still the song is very easy. The song uses almost all the chords of the diatonic scale, so it sounds harder and more complex than it is to play. The two themes are repeated by the brass and woodwinds and then the two themes are played by the full ensemble for a grand finale. This will be the hit of the beginning band concert.
