Fiddlin’ To Boston
Arranged by Frank J. HalfertyBased on “Goin’ To Boston”
Program NotesFiddling to Boston is an upbeat, and satisfying song composed by Frank J. Halferty. Frank was considered a very soulful man. Frank wanted to write something close to one of his favorite tunes Goin to Boston. The song has a
very bluesy type tune to it that you cannot simply resist. In the song there are hand slaps, stomping and some courageous bowing. The slaps automatically draw your attention to the stage and you cannot look away until the last note
has been played. Everybody finds the song very optimistic and fun. The stomps give it a little extra pizzaz and flaire, as for the bowing, lets just say
that you will believe it when you see it!! This song is the most uprising song I have heard in a while, so I hope you enjoy it like I do!!

about the ending of summer and the end of love. Your best friend the one you love has to leave and you are heartbroken. You beg them to come back the next summer or during winter, you will

London Town
By Gay Holmes Spears
Program NotesIn this piece of English folk songs takes place in London from long
ago. Spears dedicated it to her daughter, Katy. "Oranges and Lemons“, "The Muffin Man“, "London Bridge" is foreshadowing. Percussion takes over "Westminster Chimes" melody while "The
Muffin Man" is played promptly in the background. While the bass continue playing "The Muffin Man", trumpet, alto sax, and bells
play "London Bridge." Then all at once as the piece ends.By Elly Souders
