Thank you for checking out this piece! I hope it serves you and your band well!

Boardwalk Breeze has a Cha-Cha feel for most of the piece. It only has 8 distinct sections with lots of repurposed material so learning the notes should not take too long. The melody and flow of the chorus is meant to reflect something hanging up in the breeze and floating. The verses are just strolling along down the boardwalk at a brisk speed. Think of a speed walker with the wind at their back and it should keep you moving!

Below you will find a parts list and the description of the Flex Series of compositions. I wanted to add a few things for you to know specifically for this piece.

If you have an extra percussionist or 2 you should feel free to throw them on a cowbell (generally on beats 1 and 3)

With a bit of transposing, you could supplement or cover the melody with many different Treble Clef voiced instruments including Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone or Trumpet.

The options are endless so please feel free to dig in and make it fit your band’s needs! Enjoy!
