The Star Spangled Banner for unaccompanied contrabass (arr. Kody S.D Caraveo)

About the Arrangement

I have been asked to play The Star Spangled Banner for a few of my high school's basketball games as well as an assembly. I was never able to find a solo piece of The Star Spangled Banner that I liked, so I decided to arrange my own. I enjoyed the sound of writing of this arrangement so I decided to publish it and hopefully inspire other bass players to play this piece in schools or wherever they end up.
