An excellent reproducible collection for choirs to ring on the go at patriotic or Americana-themed events. All arrangements are in F major (F5 to C7) with no bell changes required. They are scored on two pages, so there are no mid-song page turns. They may be played as a set by finishing each piece with a fermata, allowing time for ringers to turn the page. The approximate performance time for the entire set is 15 minutes.
