Family Reunion

Here's a foot stompin', hand clappin' challenge for your older students. It's set in an "old timey" music style, so you'll hear some fancy pickin' guitars, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, dobro, bass, and percussion.
The optional second and third vocal parts add a lot to the tune, and will make it particularly enjoyable for older students. The kit includes isolated rehearsal tracks for all 3 parts. However, the tune could work in unison, as well. The stomp and clap instrumental breaks offer the perfect opportunity for your hams to strut their stuff. These are optional, but they sure are fun to do.
And - as you'll hear - for a song that's so much fun to sing and perform, it has an awfully important message. (from Music K-8, Vol. 17, No. 5)
