Difficulty: Beginner
Ponderosa Island is an almost 3 minute upbeat Soca tune. This happy-go-lucky tune brings to mind some sunny and funny kayak camping trips to Ponderosa Island on Percy Preist Lake in Nashville, TN. Island hopping, swimming, fishing, campfires, and time with friends. It may not be the Caribbean but these islands certainly have a great island vibe of their own!
There are only 3 distinct phrases of music to learn in this piece which means that getting a band up and running. Engine room parts should be added as you see fit or as needed for the number of players in your band! The more the merrier! The rhythmic content covers quarters, 8ths, and a characteristic rhythm: 1 ah +....Note that the drums do switch from a soca to a halftime feel.
This piece is also available in the collection called “Another 6 Compositions for Early Steelband” and the “Early Steelband Jumpstart Pack”
