SKU: CL.011-3224-00

Composed by Orcino. Young Concert Band. Command Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR323). Lighter. Score and set of parts. Composed 2002. Duration 2 minutes, 40 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #011-3224-00. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.011-3224-00).

A unique composition that is descriptive of the work of a "Gandy Dancer" (a person who maintains or lays railroad tracks), it even comes complete with a "train wreck"... The music itself is like a work song with a slight rag-time feel. Great low brass parts! Lots of fun and a real audience pleaser! Really Cool!
