Squad Car is an exciting journey with a old police buggy as it whirls through the city. Along the way, you will hear the roaring of engines, the honking of horns, and screams of police whistles as you join in pursuit of crooks in a getaway car. The percussion section is complimented by a cowbell, brake drum, police whistles (for all five players), and a jazz organ (keyboard). Squad Car is a fun piece for audiences and musicians alike. Note for Conductor: If a true jazz organ is available use it! The two accented notes at the beginning of the main theme should always have clear separation. Crash Cym. at m. 72 and 76 should be a true forte. The music at m. 93 should be played lightly. Somewhere after m. 132, I suggest that you conduct in 2 and return to conducting in 4 just before m.165. Instrumentation
