Hit the Road Jack by Percy Mayfield/arr. Paul Murtha

Performance Marching Band - Grade 4
A tribute to Ray Charles would not be complete without this well-known classic tune. The opening trumpet solo with plunger is very effective, but totally optional depending on your situation. This medium swing chart is nicely scored so that every section gets a chance to play the melody. Perfect for any auxiliary or dance feature.

I love that marching band version & regular version of Hit The Road Jack. I even hear it played in the car and at grocery stores.

Since when did marching percussion in big band become popular? Even I have an idea for a jazz piece that involves it.

THIS SONG IS SO HARD FOR ME TO FIGUER OUT BUT IT SOUNDS SO GOOD AUGH

[azndrumsticks]

I feel like the melody lick at measure 10 should have also been on the Alto Sax part and was a missed opportunity :S

[AcornGirl]
