Program Notes
Experience "monster rock" like you've never experienced it before! This well-crafted, easy-grooving original derives its ghoulish charm from its funky beat and various sound effects, including flexatone, finger snaps, and the entire ensemble shouting "Boo!" A frighteningly fun piece that will put a smile on everyone's face, even if it is midnight with a full moon!
