Music Directors are asked to nominate the division of entry by the choice of set piece listed below. The choice is at the discretion of the Music Director and should reflect the standard and ability of the band.

All bands participating will be required to perform:

  • Set piece (from division choice selections)

  • Ballad of own choice

  • Own choice

Set Piece : THAT FUNKY THING!

THAT FUNKY THING! has a catchy theme played by the saxes over an easy chord pattern for the rhythm section.

The brass plays a supportive role, generally, though there are some “meaty bits” especially in the “shout” chorus after the solos.

There are two optional written ad lib solos for alto sax and guitar.

The blues scale is illustrated at the end of all parts. Hopefully this will encourage more soloists.

This chart comes with a big band and a small group version, printed back to back. The small group version has been simplified to encourage the less experienced players to participate.
