This piece is based on a cadence called "Tutti Frutti" or "Tooty Fruity" which is itself based on an 80s Miami Bass song. The cadence begins with an audible which is performed by the guitar on my composition. The rest of the piece is pretty straightforward when compared to the original cadence. I could not find the composer of the original drumline piece.
The second half of the piece is a version of the "Grid" exercise commonly used by drumlines everywhere. I an unaware of the composer for this particular exercise. I arranged the parts to incorporate all the instruments in the triplet rhythms, forming "splits." The drummer I hired for this piece caught on to the rhythm very well and accentuates the other parts nicely.
The title is in reference to Hollywood Beach, Florida. I vacation there with my family every Summer.
