This arrangement of Tijuana Taxi is perfect for Level 2 school and community bands, while retaining the fun factor that's true to the original recording. Â The saxophones get that infamous taxi horn honk (especially the baritone saxophones), the trumpets get the lead with trombones close behind, and the clarinets double the xylophone (in case you don't have one).
Made famous by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass with their 1966 recording, this song became part of pop culture when it was chosen as the theme song to the 1967 James Bond spoof film Casino Royale, and has been recognized by all ages ever since.
