Written in an upbeat Latin rhythmic form, Chips, and Salsa, Too begins with percussion under a nice rhythmic motif in the winds. A tuneful minor melody in the clarinets, well below the break, continues above this Latin groove after the intro. The tubas (and cross-cued for euphoniums and bass clarinets) and flutes have a melody together beginning in m. 43, and the rest of the band is gradually layered in the mix until everybody is contributing to the mix. Latin rhythms, featured percussion, and lots of nice melodies for the winds makes this a piece your students and audiences will love! Pay careful attention to the articulation because without it you will lose the rhythmic feel. The tempo is marked quarter=152, but you can play it faster if you like. Too slow, and you can't dance to it! The syncopated rhythms are infectious and you will be surprised at how quickly your band catches on. The ranges are perfect for young players and there are plenty of doublings to assist smaller bands. Use as many percussionists as possible, but insist they groove together and don't cover up the winds. Remember, it's a dance. Have fun!
