Description
Jim Croce’s 1973 chart-topper comes to the brass band in this high-energy swing arrangement of Bad Leroy Brown by Rieks van der Velde. Telling the story of the “meanest guy in the whole damn town,” the arrangement features a driving beat, punchy brass hits, and a great deal of “swagger.” It is a fantastic showcase for the band’s rhythmic precision and style, making it a “sure-fire” crowd-pleaser for any pop or light-music program.
Difficulty 3
