Definitely a fun piece to play and also very easily will get stuck in your head. Played this about a year ago and sometimes I will just start humming the beginning trumpet part. It's such a great song.

We played this song in my high school winter jazz concert and I played the trumpet solo. This song has been stuck in my head since then, help.

Time to cry as jazz plays this, knowing it's some people's last time, and the last concert before I get in. Really inspiring song for my jazz progress and career as a beginner alto. Thank you for this masterpiece, Neal and Peter.
