Count on Me arr. Audrey Snyder, TB with piano and optional bongo drums
This TB setting of “Count on Me” is a happy song with a positive message. Popularized by singer-songwriter Bruno Mars in 2010, the song celebrates the importance of friends helping one another.

The famous Beatles’ song, “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” is arranged here for Tenor and Baritone singers. Appropriate voice ranges with strong support in the accompaniment help bring confidence in singing this great song celebrating the joy of a loving relationship.
How Can I Keep from Singing (A Gospel Setting) by Greg Gilpin, TTB with piano

Sweet Caroline arr. Roger Emerson, TB with piano
This classic Neil Diamond song is perfect for any TB choir! True to style and form, this arrangement can be sung with great gusto, particularly the chorus. The song’s feel good message is one that singers and listeners alike will enjoy.
