Looking for the main melody of "Tequila"

I've also been looking for Tequila, for my son (7th grade saxophone). None of the sax books at the local stores have it. I'd be happy to buy a book, anyone have a book title and publisher?

I remember playing a low brass arrangement of this, but I don't have a copy. I can check with some people who might know and see if I can find out who published it.

You should be looking for tequila for YOU to ease the sonic trauma of life near a seventh-grade saxophonist.

(I am, of course, taking the cheap shot at the equipment--not the operator)

There are plenty of midi files out there. There's a good one on this page that has a sax lead:

Pull it into a midi program... massage it a little... and print it out.

I searched around the net a bit, Hal Leonard "Songs of the 50s" has it, there are versions for most instruments, about $15.

We weren't allowed to play Tequila in my High School's Pep Band, because of it's reference to alcohol...even though we played it with no words

I believe that Finale has a freeware product called Notepad. I think it might be on this page:

A quick search finds this arrangement that should work for you.

I think that the one we used was this one, although the part doesn't say Hal Leonard (this is the info from jwpepper.com):

TEQUILA (Low Brass Ensemble)

arr. Michael Sweeney
Hal Leonard Corporation
Easy
This Latin cooker really fits those low brass players! You can even let the rest of the band in on the shouts of "Tequila". Great fun!

Go to someplace like Books-A-Million and look in the fake books. It sould be in one of them along with many other fun pieces to play.

A piano book is exactly what you need. It'll give you the melody, as long as the chords and harmony to write out.

Sir Bloke, yes that last one is a great find, My son and I will be learning it as a duet. The sax part seems a bit low, I believe the low Bb is the lowest possible on an alto... if necessary I can transpose it up. Thanks.

Finale Notepad doesn't import MIDI, but their step-up product, Notepad Plus ($25), does.

There are several free methods, though I don't know about Microsoft Windows versions of them. Denemo and Lilypond have means to import MIDI but I haven't worked with MIDI much. NoteEdit is good for quick stuff. But I haven't used it much either.

I tend to use raw lilypond format and a text editor:)
