kevingamin Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 Nice light swing feel for Royal Garden Blues. Sections get to trade off a lick midway through the performance. Great energy from the group to start the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 Tri-Vally now moves into a moving arrangement of Amazing Grace. Mellophones open with the melody before passing it on to the trumpets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 Great bell tones by the mellophones leading into a change to 4/4 for the second half of the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
