This is the last of a group of challenging compositions written for nine players. This includes xylophone, glockenspiel, snare drum, bass drum, tom-toms, timpani, bongo/conga, tambourine, and triangle. This number was composed to introduce the eighth-sixteenth notes triplet pattern of the infamous Bolero. Because of the difficulty of patterns, this composition was written for the high school or older middle school student. Mallet parts include rolls, sixteenth notes, triplets, with a bolero feeling. The tempo is andante with the tambourine introducing the bolero rhythm and experience. The theme is developed by all of the members of the ensemble using dynamics and complex rhythms. This is an interesting, creative, and enjoyable work for both the performer and the audience
