With charts like these, your festival experience is sure to be an excellent one! This diverse line-up of charts brings to your band (and audiences) some of the best when it comes to good 'ol swing, lush ballads, and hard-hitting rock/fusion.

Sierra Music recommends programming your festival performance in the following order:

I Thought About You - arr. Vern Sielert
Right out of the tradition of Sammy Nestico/Count Basie, Sielert provides a marvelous arrangement of a great standard from the American Songbook. Set in a medium-swing tempo/feel, this chart has all you would expect from a Basie-like chart: quiet ensemble statements, a strong swinging ensemble section that roars out to the end, and solo space for the player of your choice. This is a chart you cannot pass up! 5-4-4-4

My Foolish Heart - arr. Bob Curnow
An arrangement of one of the most popular melodies ever, Curnow sets it very much in the style of the "Kenton Ballad," featuring the trombone section in a slow, richly harmonized piece. The lush, warm harmonies and orchestration work beautifully with this tune as it also features solo space for trumpet. 5-5-5-3

Follow Me - Metheny & Mays / arr. Curnow
This is a flat-out rock tune that sizzles from top to bottom! The entire chart is written out, and Pat's guitar solo in the middle of the piece is written into a line for alto and trumpet. This is guaranteed to be one of the most popular pieces you will ever program for a festival! Have fun! 5-4-4-4 (w/ opt. 5th parts)
