This medium-advanced chart is playable by high school and college level bands. A catchy melody is written into the alto sax 1, trumpet 2, and trombone 1 parts, and a pop-funk piano groove requires an experienced pianist. The body of the chart features seamless transitions between 4/4, 3/4, and 7/8 time signatures. Chord changes that center around minimal key areas are written into every horn part. There is a written bass line for bassists to follow, along with chord voicings for the pianist. The chart can feature either guitar or vibraphone (or both). Jackson Churchill wrote this in memory of his grandma Nancy Quall, who was the utmost Master of Ceremonies in everything she did! Her spirit lives on in this groove-oriented tune.
Other Considerations:
5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, guitar/vibraphone, piano, electric bass, drums
Lead trumpet highest note: functionally, written B5; there is a phrase up to written Db6, but it can be taken down the octave
Lead trombone highest note: written F#4
Bass trombone lowest note: written Eb2
Play time: 6:00-7:00
