Williams-Dandy Lions (SP)-B/1-2V/X/1-2M/2T/P

Dandy Lions paints the picture of a young cub playing in an open field. Basic ostinatos keep the piece moving forward while a playful melody creates a sense of youth and excitement. Young players are also introduced to ornamentation within the melodic voices that makes Dandy Lions a blast to perform!
