By Bruce R. Smith

CHA CHA NOW is designed to be performed by beginning bands and is ideal for a late first year performance. Range is one octave and rhythms are limited to eighth notes except for the optional advanced snare drum part. In the concert key of B flat major, care should be given to first trumpet and first clarinet parts so that they play their B naturals. Creative use of percussion parts can enhance this performance. The optional advanced snare part requires the reading of sixteenth note patterns. Use a faculty member on maracas etc. Bring in you high school percussion and add various trap items. Use your band booster president on a part. Care should be given to contrasting quarter notes. Some are short, such as measure 8, and some need more length, such as measures 9 and 10 in the upper parts. Excellent use of the latin style for young band members.
