Program Notes

The inspiration behind Jolley's Son of a Gun is the second chapter of Quentin Tarantino's film The Hateful Eight. In this scene, Major Marquis Warren, John Ruth, Daisy Domergue, and Chris Mannix (the new sheriff of Red Rock) are on their way to town. Major Marquis Warren does not like or trust Sheriff Mannix.

Commissioned by Samuel Fritz, Center Grove Middle School Central Bands, and Ashley Carney, Zionsville Middle School Orchestras.
