This Beach Boys favorite is still popular with students today and Mike's easy arrangement makes it playable with even beginning groups. Written in a solid rock style with limited use of syncopation, this arrangement guarantees success.

The first Beach Boys tune to reach #1 on the pop charts, this up-tempo rocker has remained one of the surfer dudes' trademark tunes. With a powerful percussion score and solid writing throughout, this makes a great opener with plenty of drive.
