• The 6th & 7th notes of the Bb Major scale are the basis for all melodic material. That’s your main teaching point - it’s something to be explored, heard, and understood by all students.

• The bridge has flatted 6ths and flatted 7ths - another good teaching point.

• It’s exactly 67 measures long. Of course. 

• The top and side page margins in all parts are 6.7 mm. Promise me you’ll tell your students this.

• It begins at 67 bpm, and the groove is exactly twice that.

• Speaking of groove, it’s a dub-step / hip hop deal, while still sounding wind-ensemble-y.

Students can be asked to find every occurrence of a 6 followed by a 7 in their part. The conductor score has these totals for all instruments. It happens 427 times if you consider all parts.
