Difficulty:
3
For exploration of upper and lower ranges. Syncopated rhythms and more complex layering of parts. Incorporation of some flam rudiments at faster tempos. Fast keyboard runs. A good piece for pushing the beginning band that is on the verge of becoming an intermediate band.

Duration:
2:15 (Part 1), 1:56 (Part 2), 3:11 (Part 3)

Written:
Spring/Summer 2008

Description:

A fun, swanky spy show for the band that wants to put some head-bobbin’ grooves on the field! This show is designed for the lower level band that needs a push towards cranking up their abilities. This is a fun way to convince the band to practice at home! Get That Spy sends the band on a chase to find the spy… only to find her and fall in love. Of course, like any good spy, a double-cross is inevitable. Go from cool grooves to a sexy ballad to a fast-paced pop romp. Go nuts with the visual possibilities for telling a narrative on the field.

Originally commissioned by the 2008/09 West Campus High School Marching Band in Sacramento, CA under the direction of John Ousley.
