When I was younger and my family would go on trips, one of my favorite places to go to was Branson, MO. Driving there and back sometimes doesn't seem worth it, but it is one of the absolute best tourist destinations if not the best destination in middle America. What makes it so good? Its large variety of shows and parks (including the iconic Silver Dollar City), but its family-friendly approach; there are absolutely no casinos in the city.

After a long day of fun and frolics, we'd retire for the night to our motel or hotel room, and turn on the TV; the first channel that always came on was the Vacation Channel. The channel's official theme played every 15 minutes during the local weather forecast, and the song has been stuck in my head ever since, off and on. I came across it on YouTube one day and exclaimed, "That is exactly like I remember it." As a result, I decided to try arranging it. It didn't quite come off like I wanted it to, but I'm still happy I did it.

I decided to use the jazz combo template and some instruments, so the song is for:

---

Trumpets
Alto saxophone
Tenor saxophone
Baritone saxophone
Trombone
Guitar
Piano
Acoustic bass
Drum set
Vibraphone
2 glockenspiels

The alto sax and vibraphone are playing the melody.

EDIT: Added the glockenspiels because I had trouble hearing the melody, which the alto sax and vibraphone also play.
