This piece is based on the cadence used by the University of Miami Band of the Hour to run onto the field during half-time shows. It is called Speed. I composed the pitches which best fit into the rhythmic framework.
The second section uses the rhythmic and organizational foundation of a tonal bass drumline showcase called "Bass Ram." This piece was a collaborative composition by the 2001 South Florida Percussion Company bassline, of which I was a member. The Bass Ram went through a few iterations throughout the season but I settled on this version, which was from the notation available to me. I decided to slow down the tempo a bit, because the parts would have been almost unplayable in the original tempo.
Finally, the third section of the piece returns to "Speed" which is only altered slightly from its first appearance.
"Quick" was a rather obvious title, considering the origins of the piece.
