name

main songs

leaders

Marsha, Kirk, Dan

structure

Drum Intro (not on chart)- hoofbeat:

3 measures (loud. soft. soft.) to stop

then 3 beats silent, horns lead in to section 1

Three Parts:
1 is the trumpet bridge (one time through first two times
second time ) - louder

2 is "love is a burning thing" - softer

3 is "I fell down" - louder

current idea is to have trombones play first,
then all saxes (soprano and clarinet should play tenor sax part not trumpet), then maybe all together, and ending trades of the phrase "the ring of fire", finally on unison

perfnotes

Dynamics: 1 loud, 2 soft, 3 loud, 4 soft

choreography

All musician rid'em horsey (gagnamstyle, if you like) during the 4-bar (drum) intro

lyric

dunno if we sing or not or when but here it is:

[Verse 1]
Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire

[Chorus]
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire

[Verse 2]
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild
