My Rose

for grade 3+ jazz band

a lush ballad featuring flugelhorn and tenor saxophone

let me know what you think of this one

It was quite difficult- listening to something five and a half minutes long with no notes to follow,

so I raised the volume and walked around the room while listening.

I think that it could be a good piece for a school band and would like to hear it performed.

It's very calm and friendly.

I think that it's a bit too long though, 

and that kids might not be able to remember/practice such a long piece.

Remember that they loose focus easily at the age of elementary school.

Other than that it's great, well done.

It is a great piece.  Rabbival507 brings up good points.  But I have no expertise in that area. Relaxing and friendly, yes

Very smooth. But could it be a tad to difficult for grade 3? You could simplify some of the harmonies to lower the requirements.
