repeat A B C then jump to
E - solo x 4, then every one sings it one more time* All woodwinds are doubled so clarinets (and soprano sax) play tenor sax part (not trumpet)
* The Dynamics in this one can be really SWELL (get it?)
* Part C Bar 9, 10, 11 has a critical drum part on beat *3* (LMB entertainingly had this as a virbaslap) - if you listen to the original ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914 ) @ 1:05 you can hear it - the original doesn't overemphasize it but it can be really set a cool sounding pace
relative to LMB - I shared that B part that was Flute + Clarinet to Sax, put the trumpets + trombones back in for a backing part at D, and pretty much got rid of all of their part E (which was mostly duplicating themes done earlier in the song). but we are shamelessly stealing their novelty ending
charts
version 4: add saxes to trombones on part 2 melody
