Roast Beets (For Big Band: Score and Parts)
A big band chart that begins with a more serious introduction...which quickly gets upstaged by a lighthearted swing groove. The choice to deviate from the serious setting is inspired by my personal experiences of playing games with family. One family member takes gameplay extremely seriously...and is often quickly derailed by the goofy shenanigans of the rest of our family. Enjoy!
