The Wabash Cannonball - String Orchestra

Arranged by Carrie Lane Gruselle

Hop aboard as students learn about nineteenth-century American travelers who would jump aboard boxcars and journey to wherever their next destination leads. The sounds of the West abound in this lighthearted hobo tune, where audiences will hear the train whistle emanate from the orchestra. Students will develop their into-the-string fiddle bow stroke and have half- and whole-step finger patterns reinforced through a modulation from the key of C to D.
