Classic Rock Fun for Our Community Band!
Playing 'Papa Was a Rolling Stone' with our community marching band is a blast! This Johnnie Vinson arrangement is perfectly pitched at Grade 2-3, so it's challenging enough to be interesting but totally achievable for our weekend rehearsals. The percussion feature is especially fun and really captures the song's groove. It's fantastic to play such a recognizable hit.
