McNamara's Band (St. Patrick's Day Special)

Requested by another YouTube as a St. Patrick's Day special (and it will debut on my YouTube channel on that day), this is a simplified arrangement of the classic Irish song "McNamara's Band." My version has only 2 verses to keep it simplified; in the real version, there are 4 verses. The first two are followed by the chorus, and the third and fourth are sung together as one verse before the chorus is sung one more time.
To play it this way, you need:Piccolo
Flute
4 B-flat clarinets (1 & 2 top stave; 3 & 4 bottom stave)
Bass clarinet
4 alto saxophones (1 & 2 top stave; 3 & 4 bottom stave)
Tenor saxophone
Baritone saxophone
4 B-flat trumpets (1 & 2 top stave; 3 & 4 bottom stave)
Mellophone
Trombone
Baritone
Sousaphone
Glockenspiel
Xylophone
Vibraphone
2 marimbas (treble clef)
Timpani
Auxiliary percussion (concert crash cymbals)
Battery percussionThis arrangement © me and me alone
