Best Day of My Life—arr. Andy Beck.
Alternative indie rockers American Authors climbed
the charts in 14 countries with this irrepressibly
upbeat anthem that has youthful enthusiasm to
spare. The plucky banjo riff and street-percussion
rhythms are instantly recognizable, and a singable
hook offers squeaky-clean pop lyrics. The SSA
voicing easily adapts for two-part choirs by
incorporating a small group of singers on a repetitive
one-bar signature phrase.

Goin Down to Cairo—arr. Jeanne Julseth.
Specifically designed for young men's voices, this
arrangement features a vocal hoedown section
