These Michael Sweeney arrangements are a practical addition for any community or school concert band gig. The intermediate level means they’re accessible and sound full without excessive rehearsal time. The conductor's score is well-laid out, ensuring smooth cues. While individual parts might need a quick look for specific articulations, the overall arrangement is standard and reliable for public performances. Good value with the included online audio.
