Program Notes
Medley of well-known classical pieces including: "Also Sprach Zarathustra", "Blue Danube", "Dance of the Hours", and Offenbach's "Can-Can". The title refers to the technique in the trumpet part. While the rest of the band plays the occasional melody and mostly backgrounds, the trumpets buzz all of the main melodic lines on their mouthpieces in a humorous rendition of the famous melodies.
