Loved this arrangement. Ever so subtle and then emphasized in all the right places. Orchestra/Band were just amazing as well. Knockout sax solo in this arrangement. Wonderfully played.

I performed this with my high school jazz band, with my friend and fellow tenor soloing. That was fun!

You can't do a Louis Armstrong arrangement with the vocals without at least attempting to sound like him. Also, a high D for the lead trumpet is a bit much for a grade 3 in my opinion. Other than that, it's a good arrangement.
