Upbeat Suite features three light, bouncy orchestral arrangements by Brian Slawson that all share the same 'upbeat' feel that gives them their comical, festive nature: Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Little Swans from Swan Lake, Mussorgsky's Ballad of the Unhatched Chicks from Pictures at an Exhibition, and Bizet's Danse Boheme from Carmen.
Each one requires four percussionists on one keyboard each, which makes it super simple to set up and play! Cheer the crowd up in no time with this trio of tunes.
