About the song
Arranged by Michael Sweeney, Originally recorded by Kansas
Instrumentation requirements
This song needs at least 4 or 5 trumpets, with at least two on first.
Roadmap
To better match the original recording, the song starts with a trumpet soli (the original starts with 8 measures a cappella). The trumpets start at measure 26 and play through the end of measure 32, then there is a measure of drums, then the song starts back at measure 1. From there, it is played as written.
History
This is a long-standing staple of the band. It will likely never be retired.
