Battle of the Bands

Inspired by the classic showdowns where rival bands battle for bragging rights, this intermediate jazz chart delivers nonstop energy and excitement. The drums take center stage with a driving jungle beat before the chart kicks into an up-tempo swing. Call-and-response figures and written solos for tenor sax 1 and trumpet 1 add to the fun, all building toward a fiery, crowd-pleasing ending. This chart makes an ideal closer for any middle school concert or festival performance.
