Old descriptions:
This song has 2 melodies which I am arbitrarily calling sunrise and sunset
(and I am lumping in soprano / alto saxes with trumpet and tenor saxes with trombones and bari saxes with base)
1 - sunrise trombone
2 - sunrise trumpet
3 - sunset trumpet
4 - sunset trombone
For solos we go back to "sunrise", and the soloist can play off the melody call and response style. Ideally trumpets play call when it's a trombone solo and vice versa.
After solos, ending is pretty much everyone but basses play the first part of sunset and then "HEY!"
