For Independence Day celebrations or other patriotic events, Thomas Smith's "General Mixup, U.S.A." medley provides a rousing number. Many patriotic favorites such as the Star-Spangled Banner, Columbia Gem of the Ocean, Dixieland, Year of Jubilo, Battle Cry of Freedom, among other songs and bugle calls, are all woven together. So many songs come and go in such short order that it's fun for an audience to keep up!
There are some technical challenges present for all parts, but many can be alleviated by taking things at a tempo that works best for your complement of players. A great arrangement for your 4th of July event!
