Written entirely in 4/4 and using a single tempo throughout, Richard has created a marvelous work for young players that features logical pacing and variety along with a keen sense of rhythmic momentum. Using a recurring interlude for percussion and bluesy elements in the melody, this is effective as a concert piece and also just plain fun to play!

YESSSS

[@arctheinnovator]

We're currently playing this in my school. My band teacher taught us the "groove" part (0:39) as a whole band before our part of the "groove" comes in. I even heard some higher grades play the piece before, I searched up this KZbin video like about almost 2 years ago, and now here I am playing this masterpiece. Gosh, time flies too fast. I hope I enjoy this song before the school year ends, and I know I will.
