Program Notes
Review
An ensemble for 7 players designed for the high school band section. Each player performs at one Point in the piece on a second instrument. The ensemble opens with a snappy roll-off and goes into a two-beat quick- step. The middle section modulates to a thumbs beat through a rhythmic and instrumental change. - PAS Staff, December 1965[1]
