The mallet instruments serve to both play the melody and duplicate it, while the tambourine and bells maintain the rhythmic pulse. The piece is set in 2/4 time signature and the key of F major. Remember to include the B-flat note!
Ensure that the necessary repetitions align with the Bingo song lyrics. With each repetition, a letter from the word BINGO gradually disappears from the lyrics. Meanwhile, the orchestra continues playing seamlessly, maintaining the musical flow. Eventually, the lyrics vanish entirely, leaving behind only the instrumental music.
