Commisioned by the band director son of a Top Gun Flight School Insructor in memory of his father, this high-powered swing chart starts with a vertical take off and settles into a hard- Swinging tune. The saxes play the tune while the brass answer and support. The trombone section takes the spotlight on the bridge with a challenging soli passage. Tenor and alto saxes stage a musical dogfight while the backgrounds reference the Air Force theme. An 8-bar drum solo sets up the Gene Krupa style "Sing Sing Sing" section. A brief sax soli follows before the full ensemble shouts its way to the finish. A brief quote from Kenny Loggins' Danger Zone (Top Gun Theme) is heard just before the final chord. Trumpet range is to written high D. Trombone range is to high B-flat. Super chart!
