Brass Ensemble Trombone,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.844770 Composed by Phil Beaman. Children,Classical,Contemporary. Score and parts. 8 pages. Phil Beaman #5360031. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.844770). Obnoxious Smart Aleck is a comedic novelty piece that is to be acted as much as played. The score provides guidelines for actions and reactions, but you may add your own to ham it up even more. Basically, the players are upset with the smart-aleck who is ruining their song. They stare and make faces which does no good, so they resort to tricks to try and lose the smart-aleck in the song. By the end they finally all work together to make music.
