Hi everybody,
I recently arranged a euro house music song from the nineties for marching band (sort of marching band really.., for details read my introduction).
The first 5 measures are for me to solo on (on alto), after the formate the drummer hits his sticks 4 times and then the rest of the band comes in. the solo theme is now repeated only adding rythm, piccolo, flute and trumpet.

Now this was quite a task to arrange the whole piece, and I kinda' lost inspiration now!
What are your ideas/hints/tips to make this into a REAL solo. also I found that these arent the most beautiful notes to solo on..
my setup: Cannonball Alto wth Lebayle metal jazz 8 and Legere 2½
hope you can help!
and here`s the original..
