Performance Notes
MonToobo (Grade III) was written with the Montuno groove in mind. (This could possibly be the first Boomwhacker® Montuno ever published?) MonToobo uses a play-along track, so you’ll need a PA/speaker system for this one. To obtain a good audio balance between players, audience and track, it is advised to practice in your performance situation/venue as much as possible. While players 1 & 2 are managing five tubes, it is as equally important that your “groove” players (4, 5 & 6) are comfortable executing that Montuno-ish groove with each other and the track. The tune starts with two bars of percussion and then the players enter in bar 3. Follow all dynamics as closely as possible to maintain the melody/accompaniment balance. In bars 57-60, stress to the players to “lock-in” with the eighth-note build up in the track as this will have a tendency to rush. If possible, perform this tune without a conductor.
