Pollo Rojo (The Red Chicken)—Les Sabina.
We haven't heard a better original Latin tune at
this grade level than Pollo Roja! It's a cha-cha to
be performed at around 146 bpm, has easy brass
ranges, includes a written or ad lib alto sax solo, a
cool melody, section solis, and it's fun to hear and
play. This is a well-crafted chart that will guarantee
maximum interest from players and audiences!
Playable with optional reduced or expanded
instrumentations. Highly recommended!

melodies and Latin flavor help make this appealing
to players and audiences alike. The melody is
skillfully traded from section to section and no solos
are required. Playable with optional reduced or

nova charts? Well, sit up and take notice because
this one is different! This unique and beautifully

introduction, there's a horns-only section along

anyone with the included scales sheets or written
solos in all the parts. The ranges are moderate,
