Want to turn her on? Head to Home Depot. Surveys have shown that the way to a women's bed, er, heart is through her honey-do list. In fact, 12 percent of women prefer their men be good at do-it-yourself projects rather than skilled between the sheets, according to a new survey from LocalTraders.com.
Of course, most women want more than just a helping hand around the house. So we asked our friends at Women's Health to pick the (dirty) minds of their million-plus Twitter followers and get the lowdown on the traits that ladies look for in a guy. (To learn even more about her secret sexual desires, discover What Every Woman Wants.)
Here are some of the top responses we received when we asked for Women's Health readers' #GuyMustHaves:
#GuyMustHaves A sweet smile and a ROTFL sense of humour that makes it impossible not to smile back, no matter what kind of mood you're in <3 —Denise Kwan (@deellekay)Make Her Laugh. She may not expect you to be as hilarious as Louis C.K., but women love guys who can bring a smile to their face. In a Men's Health survey of more than 1,000 American women ages 21 to 54, 77 percent of women ranked a sense of humor as their number one must-have in a man, beating out intelligence, passion, confidence, and generosity.
#GuyMustHaves, being able to cook more than toast and kraft dinner. —Krista Peddie (@Krista_Peddie)
Cook For More Sex. As American writer Fanny Fern once declared, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. And as it turns out, the same may stand true for women. But if your cooking skills don't lead to her heart, at least they may lead you both to the bedroom. Case in point: Men's Health conducted a poll with 1,000 Cosmopolitan readers and found that 66 percent of women said they're more likely to have sex with a man after a home-cooked meal.

@WomensHealthMag : A small ego and a clean house #GuyMustHaves —Jessica Dawson (@JessicaDawson44)
Make Your Man Cave Girlfriend-Friendly. You may not mind the dirty gym socks and week-old boxers scattered all over the floor, but she will. And not only does a messy house make you look bad, it also kills her desire to jump your bones. In fact, nearly two-thirds of Americans believe that having a clean room is crucial for setting the mood, according to a National Sleep Foundation and WB&A Market Research poll of 1,500 people ages 25 to 55.
Humble and Five O'Clock Shadows Mmm #GuyMustHaves —Megan (@MegCams)
Ditch the Razor. Women think your 5 o'clock shadow is sexy, according to a study at Northumbria University. Researchers showed women 15 photos of men's faces—altering each to display different degrees of hairiness—and then asked them to rate each photo on different traits like masculinity, aggression, attractiveness, and maturity. The winner: Light stubble was rated the most attractive.
#GuyMustHaves be kinda aggressive but respectful, affectionate but not soft! @WomensHealthMag —Ieva (@miss_ieva_x)Show Her Your Wild Side. Many women consider dominant or rough sex to be a huge turn-on, says Ava Cadell, Ph.D., an L.A.-based sexologist and founder of Loveology University. But don't go out and stock up on whips and chains. (Well, at least not yet.) Instead, showing some aggression in the sack—like light spanking or nibbling—can be extremely sexy, Cadell says.
#GuyMustHaves gentle eyes and smell good! —Tracey Gee (@Tracey1705)
Seduce Her With Your Scent. According to a study from the University of Liverpool, when women simply see a man apply a scent, they instantly consider him more attractive. And what's more, the same study also found that men who use cologne come across as more confident than those who don't. (Double bonus!) Want to spice up your cologne collection?

Shinola watch company to add retail outlet in Washington, D.C.
Friday, November 21, 2014
Shinola, a manufacturer and retailer of watches and other high-end goods, is putting the shine on with its latest retail store.
"Detroit-based Shinola continues to expand its retail presence beyond the Motor City, with a permanent, brick-and-mortar outlet reportedly in the works for the nation's capital.
The company, which makes watches in Detroit, in addition to crafting bikes, journals and leather goods at a variety of mostly-American locations, last month said it was opening shops in London, Los Angeles and Chicago...
Shinola had previously said it will have six brick-and-mortar stores once the Chicago one comes online in the Wicker Park-Bucktown neighborhood. Shinola's flagship Detroit location is at 441 W. Canfield in Midtown, and the company also has stores in Manhattan and Minneapolis.
It also has a presence in Paris' ultra-trendy Colette shop and in the Abu Dhabi airport."
Xoran Technologies records best sales year since 2006
Friday, November 21, 2014
Xoran Technologies recorded its best year in nearly a decade in 2014. The Ann Arbor-based company installed more of its Mini CAT CT scanners this year than any year since 2006.
"2014 was actually a really good year for us," says Rachel Gajda, director of marketing for
Xoran Technologies
. "We hope to kick it up even more in 2015."
The 13-year-old bio-tech company manufacturers and sells point-of-care CT scanners. Its principal technology is
, a compact machine that can produce high-resolution bone window imaging of the sinuses, temporal bones and the skull. It controls about 75 percent of the market it serves.
Xoran Technologies has been developing a second product called
, a mobile, inter-operative CT scanner. The company plans to start selling these in earnest within the next 12 to 18 months.
"2015 will bring Xoran Technologies to a new level of innovation and advancement," Gajda says.
In the meantime the firm is expanding its staff to accommodate that. It has hired seven people over the last year and is looking to bring on another six right now.

U-M student creates mini-insoles to keep heels in high heels
Friday, November 21, 2014
High heels are one of those accessories that are usually high fashion with low functionality. A new startup based in Ann Arbor thinks it can improve the functionality.
High heels are notorious for being unstable pieces of footwear that can be tough to walk in. Heel Secret is making a small insole that helps keep the users foot securely in the shoe.
"That insole has a clear elastic strap that goes over your heel and forces your foot into the shoe," says Kiri Chapman, founder of
Chapman is a student at the University of Michigan going for a bachelors in dance and a certificate in entrepreneurship. She is also a dancer who worked in a professional ballet troupe before coming to Ann Arbor. College came with more opportunity to wear high heels for Chapman, which presented both a problem and an opportunity.
"That's when I started to play with my shows to make them fit better," Chapman says.
She launched HeelSecret a year ago and then took second place the student portion of the
Accelerate Michigan Innovation Competition
earlier this month. That showing comes with $5,000 in seed capital that will help Chapman create more prototypes of her insole, which she plans to perfect before selling them to the public.
"We really want a product that will speak for itself," Chapman says.

Jet-setting firm Broadsword cultivates consulting work in backyard
Friday, November 21, 2014
When the economy went south, Broadsword branched out.
The tech consulting company had once relied on the local automotive and manufacturing industries, but added work with the federal government, specifically the U.S. Dept. of Defense. Today the Livonia-based firm company is looking to flesh out its local work.
Broadsword has watched its revenue jump 30 percent over the last year, mostly by expanding its customer base outside of Metro Detroit.
"It was mostly new customers," says Jeff Dalton, president of
. "We're starting to expand our work with our existing customers."
Broadsword specializes in leveraging Agile and Lean methods to drive up performance engineering using its AgileCMMI methodology and collaborative consulting and coaching solutions. Some of its clients include Rockwell Collins, NASA, Boeing, Chrysler, Compuware and L-3 Communications.

ArborWind set to begin installing wind turbine tech in spring
Friday, November 21, 2014
ArborWind successfully finished testing its wind turbine technology this year, and now the Ann Arbor-based firm is aiming to install about a dozen units in Michigan in 2015.
That increase has prompted the 4-year-old company to hire two people over the last year in sales and marketing. It currently has a staff of five employees and an intern, and expects to do some more hiring next year as it starts building wind turbines.
"We're looking at expanding pretty rapidly," says Dilip Nigam, president & CEO of
. "We'll probably need more sales and marketing people."
ArborWind is taking the traditional wind turbine design (think pinwheels) and turning it on its ear. ArborWind's turbine employs a vertical-axis design so it looks like the beater ends of a hand mixer when harnessing the wind. This design enables the turbine to turn regardless of which direction the wind is blowing. Check a video explaining the technology
"This turbine will last 50 years," Nigam says. "We designed it for that."
Each of ArborWind's turbines generates 200,000 kilowatt hours of energy annually. ArborWind plans to install 11 of them across the state in early 2015 and use that to set the stage for an even bigger growth spurt.
"We want to expand rapidly and do 50 turbines," Nigam says. "Each of those turbines costs more than half a million dollars so it will be a large order."

Minority Business Access Fund aims to lend $100M to Detroit small biz
Model D
Friday, November 21, 2014
Minority business owners in Detroit are getting a new pool of money to dip into, and it's a big one.
The Michigan Minority Supplier Development Council is launching the Minority Business Access Fund, a $100 million loan vehicle offering liquidity assistance to small- and medium-sized businesses. That could mean everything from multi-million dollar automotive suppliers to family owned businesses.
"We hope this will be a great value to the businesses in the neighborhoods of Detroit," says Louis Green, president of the
Michigan Minority Supplier Development Council
Minority Business Access Fund
will offer up to $100 million annually to local minority-owned firms. That could be ten $10 million loans or 1,000 $100,000 loans. Green expects to make 75 to 100 loans in the first year.
The Minority Business Access Fund is meant to address the cash-flow needs of minority-owned businesses. Small businesses often find themselves in a cash crunch to meet things like payroll because of hiccups in payments from customers. Minority-owned firms have traditionally been underserved by traditional lending institutions, and this fund is meant to help bridge that gap. Although the fund is sponsored by a council focused on helping minority-owned automotive suppliers, the fund will be open to all comers of color.
"It's open to folks in lots of industries," Green says. "We're talking to folks in healthcare and folks who are working on the
M-1 Rail
. We're talking to a lot of folks."

TurtleCell hires 5, preps to launch retractable earbud iPhone case
Friday, November 21, 2014
People want TurtleCell's iPhone case with retractable earbuds so badly they are willing to give the Ann Arbor-based startup $10,000 to get the job done. Twice.
The smartphone accessory startup won the People's Choice award at last year's
Accelerate Michigan Innovation Competition
, which came with a check for $10,000 in seed capital. The company did it again earlier this month, taking the People's Choice award at Accelerate Michigan and another $10,000.
"We do feel like we're a fan favorite," says Jeremy Lindlbauer, co-founder and director of branding & marketing for
. "We weren't surprised. We were holding our breath for a bigger check."
The 2-year-old startup didn't win one of the main prizes (top prize came with $500,000) but its team did leave knowing it would be able to deliver on its promise to sell iPhone case with retractable earbuds. The company is working with Digital Treasures in Auburn Hills and expects to sell between 300,000 and 500,000 units next year.
"We're expecting to be in mass production and delivery by next March," Lindlbauer says.
TurtleCell got its start when a couple of University of Michigan students got frustrated with constantly untangling the earbuds for their iPhones while walking to class. The group of three went through a few prototypes and started to really gain traction with their latest version.
TurtleCell's main product allows full access to the smartphone's buttons and has a four-foot-long headphone that easily retracts back into the case. The earbuds are higher-quality. TurtleCell has hired five people over the last seven months to get the product ready for sales in 2015.
"We have a lot going on over the next few months," Lindlbauer says.

New Midtown co-working space to offer painting classes on weekends
Model D
Friday, November 21, 2014
In the two years since Mack and Linda Hendricks first had their idea to open a co-working space, the city's co-working scene has blown wide open. After a few setbacks with their intended facilities, the husband-and-wife team has followed through on its vision, opening
Common Division
in Midtown earlier this month.
Even though the number of Detroit co-working spaces has grown considerably since they first thought of opening their own, Mack and Linda believe their location, building, and programming will make it all worth the wait. Common Division is located in Suite B of 4160 Cass Ave.
It's a storefront location, something that sets them apart from other co-working spaces, says Mack. Another advantage is the parking, which he says is considerably cheaper than downtown. The couple also believes that their neighbors will play a role in their success. Common Division shares a building with the coffee and gelato shop, Melt. The popular tapas restaurant La Feria is also on that block.
"We're where people live," says Mack Hendricks. "And there's not a lot of space in some of these apartments in the neighborhood. People want to get out and be somewhere creative."
Being creative is a big component of the Common Division business plan. On Dec. 6 during Midtown's Noel Night celebration, Common Division will debut their Paint the Town event. Following Noel Night, Paint the Town events will occur every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The co-working space will be transformed into a painting class, with easels and stools replacing tables and office chairs. An instructor will walk groups through the process of painting. Mack says it's a simple and fun way to discover something you didn't know you had in you. The painting classes are two hours long and BYOB -- bring your own bottle of wine.
Access to the co-working space is from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. for holders of day- and week-long passes and and 24-hours-a-day for those holding monthly passes. Day passes are $15, week passes are $50, and month passes are $160. Wi-fi, refreshments, printing and fax facilities, and lockers are some of the amenities offered with each membership.

SurClean scores $25,000 win at Accelerate Michigan
Friday, November 21, 2014
SurClean added another $25,000 to its ledger when it walked away from the
Accelerate Michigan Innovation Competition
earlier this month.
The Wixom-based startup won the Product and Services category, which comes with a check for $25,000 in seed capital. SurClean plans to add that money to the Series A round of investment it is currently raising, and use it to help secure its intellectual property.
"We're in the process of filing numerous patents," says Susan Sprentall, CEO of
The company is developing a laser-based technology that replaces the harmful chemicals, media blasting, and other abrasives typically used in the removal of paint and other coatings from aircraft, vessels, and bridges undergoing maintenance. Its system uses a laser beam to disintegrate and remove paint and other coatings like rust from substrate in a cost-effective, safe, energy-efficient and earth-friendly way.
The company launched the first generation of the product this year. It's in the process of developing the second generation of the product and should be ready to bring it to market by next spring.
"We should have established sales in the aviation sector (by then)," Sprentall says. "We should also be moving forward in the bridge and U.S. Dept. of Transportation sector by then."
SurClean currently has a staff of five employees and two interns. It is also looking to hire another three people right now, and 10-15 additional by the end of next year.

Inventev scores win at Accelerate Michigan hybrid truck technology
Model D
Friday, November 21, 2014
Inventev scored a win at the Accelerate Michigan Innovation Competition earlier this month, adding $25,000 in seed capital to its current fundraising efforts.
"It will really help us with analytics so we can continue to match our product to customer needs," says Dave Stenson, founder & CEO of
. "It will also help us with raising financing."
startup is aiming to raise $5 million to bring its automotive hybrid technology to market. The company is looking to raise two tranches of money, and Stenson expects to close on the first $1.5 million in the first quarter of next year.
Inventev is developing a hybrid-electric system for commercial trucks. The technology is a new transmission architecture that allows electric machines to operate other aspects of the trucks, such as the hydraulic lift. That way the trucks' diesel engines don't need to idle while they dump their loads. The truck would also generate its own electricity so workers could use it as a generator.
"This isn't just a work truck," Stenson says. "This is a truck that is a job-site tool."
That technology won the Advanced Transportation category of the
Accelerate Michigan Innovation Competition
, which comes with $25,000 in seed capital. Inventev's team of five people used the event to sharpen the startup's business plan and help move the company toward its fundraising goal.
"It's a top-shelf event that is becoming even more well-known and respected in and outside of the state," Stenson says.

MedHub adds 6 positions as it grows its software platform
Friday, November 21, 2014
MedHub is one of those business that reliably hires. It doesn't go through a huge growth spurt hiring dozens at a time, nor does it go years without adding staff. Each year the healthcare software firm creates a few jobs as it moves forward. Those numbers are starting to accelerate.
The 13-year-old firm now stands at 13 people after hiring six over the last year. Those new hires include software developers and support staff.
"We'll probably hire another six this year. Minimum," says Peter Orr, president of
MedHub's software platform helps teaching hospitals better manage their medical residents by improving communication, collaboration and tracking of the about to be newly minted doctors. It also helps ensure the hospitals maximize Medicare reimbursements.
It is currently being used by a number of brand name teaching hospitals, such as Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, along with the health systems at Stanford and Duke universities. MedHub recently on boarded UCLA and George Washington's hospitals, and is planning to bring on more soon.
"Our pipeline is full all the way through next year," Orr says.
MedHub moved from Ann Arbor to downtown Dexter last year. It took over the circa-1899 Old Grain Mill at 3515 Broad Street, redeveloping it into a space for technologists. The company is now filling out that space nicely with its new hires.
MedHub is also working to add more healthcare education institutions to its client list, such as nursing schools.
"We're starting to get into that more aggressively," Orr says.

. The Royal Oak-based startup specializes in integrating new technology into everyday uses. More times than not that has to do with adding alternative energy to the mix.
That could mean adding solar arrays to light poles to help keep streetlights on more cost-effectively. Or adding alternative energy generators to machines that work in remote places, such as the blinking arrows that steer construction traffic in the right direction far away from the nearest electrical plug.
Eden has been working with a number of different alternative energy players in Metro Detroit, including the
Green Team Coalition
at the
campus in Detroit's New Center neighborhood. He hopes these projects help create more jobs in Michigan. It has already led to the creation of a three-person staff at Synergy System Solutions.
"I want us to be at the forefront of Michigan's disruptive technology," Eden says. "Doing things differently, but innovative."

Wisely brings personal touch to customer loyalty programs, jobs to Ann Arbor
Friday, November 21, 2014
Loyalty to businesses isn't always about the money. Often its about the personal attachment or special connection to that company. An Ann Arbor startup is trying to capitalize on the latter with a new mobile app.
Wisely launched its customer loyalty platform in Ann Arbor earlier this fall. Most customer loyalty programs track who buys what which business how often and giving a certain percentage of discount based on patronage. Wisely offers a tiered system of personal rewards for steady customers.
"When you have memories of going to a place you go back because of this emotion," says Mike Vichich, CEO of
The 1-year-old company and its team of just under 10 people (it's looking to hire three people now) have signed up 30 local businesses in Ann Arbor to take part. They are mostly made up of bars and restaurants, such as
Mani Osteria & Bar
, the Raven's Club,
Slurping Turtle
, and
Each user of the Wisely app that qualifies for a certain level or reward with their patronage receives a special incentive to come back, such as the ability to make a reservation for two when the normal reservation threshold is six people. In the case of
Raven's Club
, silver level Wisely users can receive a bottle of homemade hot sauce.
"It's a great way to create an emotion attachment in a customer," Vichich says.
The Wisely app tracks all of these purchases through the user's debit and credit cards. There is no other loyalty card to carry around and swipe or scan when making the purchase. Wisely is perfecting the app in Ann Arbor this fall and winter with the hopes of taking it national next year.

The hotel is a very good location for Ambleside and is very easy to find. The owner was very helpful and was very knowledgable about local walks. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay
Breakfasts were excellent, staff friendly and helpful. Relaxed atmosphere
everything! fantastic warm welcome, lovely attentive staff, wonderful facilities and beautiful accomodation. We will be back!
Breakfast, Cleanliness, Coffee and Food
Noise, creaking floorboards and other guests.
Everyone was so friendly and nothing was a bother to them. The young lady on reception when we arrived even helped carry our luggage to our room. The waitresses at breakfast were so attentive. They did everything but eat our breakfast!!! Decor in hotel was beautiful - a lot of thought gone into it.
Leaving to come home!!
View was lovely room was lovely staff very helpful.
Didn't like no evening meal facility.
The Hotel was centrally located which was ideal for us as we liked to go out into Ambleside in the evenings. The staff were freindly and polite at all times, the food was excellent. The room was clean, tidy and very well furnished. The bathroom was excellent with shower and bath. All round extremely pleased and would definitley go back again.
The only fault I can find with it was the wifi in our room was not as good as we would have liked.
Everything. We have been going to the Fisherbeck for many years which is testimony to how much we like it. Perfectly placed for access to the Lake District. Very comfortable rooms and an excellent breakfast. Staff always pleased to see us and very helpful. Have absolutely no criticisms whatsoever.
This is a quality establishment. From the greeting with a cup of coffee, to the gourmet breakfast of excellent local fare, to the beautifully appointed rooms, to the fine common areas - not forgetting the excellent attention of the host & his staff - we totally enjoyed a relaxing, first rate stay at the Fisherbeck
Nothing it was all good.
The rooms are lovely, spacious and modern. The bathroom and the shower in particular were awesome. Very friendly staff and eager to please.
There was not a lot to dislike really.
clean room, comfortable bed, very good breakfast
carrying a big suitcase up 3 floors, car parking was tight
The Hotel, the friendly Staff and the owner Ray who always inquired how things were.The location, close to town and bus stop outside hotel, very convenient. The lovely breakfast with a great choice.
The view from our room, a brick wall ! A little hot in the room at night even with window open.
Good clean and relatively quiet hotel. Staff helpful. Good breakfasts
Parking is a major issue. Inadequate space for number of cars. Had to park in centre of car park both nights and leave the keys with the hotel to move the vehicle about! Not satisfactory.
Cleanliness and service as well as the handy location to both the village and the wharf. The establishment is a cross over from B and B to Hotel/Motel which makes it more spacious and comfortable than the average B and B the only thing which would improve the place would be the addition of a small fridge to the rooms.
Friendly Staff, comfortable room and excellent breakfast.
The management, staff, room, service and food were all excellent - we loved our stay!
Nothing to not like
Very nice facility and seemed newly remodeled. Our room was nicely furnished and we really liked the outside private deck. Good full breakfast menu. Raymond, the owner of the facility, was almost always on site and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, especially with hiking information and suggestions. Very detailed directions, which were quite helpful in finding our way.
Attention to detail at the hotel e.g asked which milk we wanted at breakfast when we checked in. Comfortable, clean with friendly staff. Good location. Quiet at night.
The friendlyness of every one. The breakfast was excellent.Also a good location for all amenities.
we have been staying at the fisherbeck for 30+ years and wouldn't stay anywhere else, the staff have always been polite and very helpful and the food is excellent all home cooked.
Breakfast and location
Good location with parking. Easy walk into town or the other way to catch the ferry. Hotel was clean with friendly staff. Great selection and good quality breakfast.
was outstanding. Superior room fabulous but a shame it was the closest room to the main road
Breakfast is excellent Very friendly staff Good location ample free on site parking
Room a bit small
Everything, location, quality of accommodation, food, staff and the friendliness of both the owners, great local recommendations for restaurants (already booked some of those for our next stay in May)
nothing....perhaps a bit more sun!!

The Devonshire Arms has once again thrown open its doors to the rabble fighting tooth and nail to get a good spot at the front of the stage; it's time for Grindhouse, folks. Opium and absinthe are replaced by Golden Virginia and pints of ale, but this does nothing to dampen the atmosphere created by Ethernal and A Forest Of Stars.
Giving a performance described by one crowd member as "tight as fuck", Ethernal are on top form and in a league completely of their own – complex instrumentals and vocals that have just the tiniest hint of thrash, these UK black metallers have provided the perfect appetizer in preparation for what's to come next.
A Forest Of Stars provide a spooky and traditional Victorian feel to an atmosphere that is already electrically charged from Ethernal's set. Blood curdling vocals that send shivers down the spine are teamed with harrowing guitars and tribal drums – the violin is the cherry on top of all this. Truly magnificent, there is an odd sophistication to this band; they could be performing an occultist ritual on the stage and no one would mind. They are gracious enough to relent to the crowd's demands for an encore and leave their audience speechless.
No one can be in any doubt that this has been the best Grindhouse of the year so far.

Buster's Last Stand by Claude Thornhill. Edited by Jeffrey Sultanof. Arranged by Gil Evans. For big band (2 Alto Saxophones (both double Clarinet), 2 Tenor Saxophones, Baritone Saxophone, Clarinet (Optional), 4 Trumpets (4th is an alternate part for Horn in F 1), 2 Horns in F, 3 Trombones (3rd is an alternate part for Horn in F 2), Guitar, Piano, Bass, Drums,). Swing. Difficult. Score and parts. Published by Jazz Lines Publications (JL.JLP-8138).
Background: In the mid 1930s, Gil Evans was leading a Benny Goodman-styled big band on the west coast. Surviving airchecks of this ensemble show it to be an impressive unit that certainly had the potential to become quite successful. However, vocalist Skinnay Ennis of the Hal Kemp Orchestra was going out on his own, and Evans's agency decided that Ennis should take Evans's orchestra. Along with Ennis came pianist/arranger Claude Thornhill, and the two arrangers became fast friends. When Thornhill formed his own orchestra, Evans came with him, although he continued to write for the Ennis ensemble. The Music: Buster's Last Stand is one of the few fast swing pieces that the Thornhill band played. They recorded it for Columbia Records in 1942 shortly before a ban on recording was imposed by the music union, and it remained in the book when the Thornhill ensemble was re-formed in 1946. This edition of Buster's Last Stand comes from photocopies of the original parts except for the reeds, which were recopied years later for a performance by the American Jazz Orchestra (the original parts appear to be in very rough shape). There are some differences between the Columbia recording and this version, suggesting the Evans continued to refine and tinker with the piece after the war. A sixth reed was present at the original recording session, and this part seems to be missing. It is reconstructed here, although it is optional. Notes to the Conductor: During the big band era, this sort of devilishly-fast composition was called a flagwaver, used to end a set as a set-up for big applause. Although it was not their norm, Thornhill's ensemble proved that it could handle such a piece, as the performance of this tricky music is played near flawlessly for the Columbia recording. Since Thornhill and Evans were very particular about how their music was played, there must have been a lot of rehearsal to get this piece just right. We have included optional 4th trumpet and 3rd trombone parts that are alternates for the two horn in F parts. But, you should only use them if you don't have the horn players available. Both alto saxophones double clarinet. And, the 6th reed is an optional clarinet part.
