You Rock! (Neil A. Kjos)
Based on the familiar rock beat often heard at sporting events, this light-hearted number is in a traditional eight and twelve-bar blues progression. There are plenty of opportunities for the percussion section to "shine" and lots of hand-clapping and knee-slapping to hold the interest and enthusiasm of the entire band. A perfect encore selection!
