l Imperial County ImpressionsJohn Edmond-
son. The main theme suggests a Latin American
style, and if extra percussion is available, it can add
to the traditional Latin-themed percussion patterns.
Tempo changes are modest, and there is ample
room for directors to add their own interpretive
touches such as the entire band shouting "Ole!" on
the last beat. Most importantly, the players should
have fun playing the piece, assuring a pleasant
musical memory.
