With the Maynard Ferguson Series, Jalen Publishing offers a whole new level of flexibility for marching band directors. Each new arrangement features optional bells, xylophone, vibraphone and marimba parts for bands who have a front sideline ensemble. While the mallet parts add dimension to the arrangements, each piece also sounds complete using only the winds and battery parts. While Maynard Ferguson is regarded as one of the worlds top high note players, trumpet solos included in this series are written with a top note of D (C concert) to ensure it stays playable for school ensembles. This is the first tune in our tribute to Maynard Ferguson, "Give It One". |
