Why play fast? Let me quote arranger Joe Paparone: "Try being extremely
happy at a slow pace. It doesn't work. Tempo is integrally related to mood.
"
a standard Italian description of tempo: 140-150) *Allegro assai:* very
happy (150-160)* Allegro vivace:* happy with spirit (160-184)
*Vivace:*spirited, bright
Joe's website has some good music theory information:

One might say John Popper and the boys play party music. I do too.
