A Dynamic Ensemble Take on a Classic
As a vocal coach, this marching band arrangement isn't for typical accompaniment, but I can appreciate John Wasson's excellent work. The Grade 3 score of "We Both Reached for the Gun" provides an energetic, full-ensemble interpretation of the Kander & Ebb classic. It's a great example of how a theatrical piece can be reimagined for a powerful, dynamic band performance, full of "show biz razzle dazzle."

Solid, Energetic Marching Arrangement
For a Grade 3 marching band piece, Wasson's "We Both Reached for the Gun" delivers. It's an energetic closer with that classic "Chicago" feel, great for school events or parades. The 2-beat feel and shout chorus are impactful. While not a typical solo gig chart, it’s a well-arranged, reliable piece for ensemble work when those marching calls come in.

So Fun to Play in Community Band!
I absolutely loved playing "We Both Reached for the Gun" from Chicago with my community band! The Grade 3 difficulty was totally achievable for a weekend player like me, and it sounds so much like the energetic showtune. The "tongue-in-cheek" feel really comes through, making it a blast and a real crowd-pleaser. Highly recommend for pure enjoyment!
