"Flagball" is a cheerful theme in C major and 4/4. It begins with a simple percussive intro. The steelpan melody comes with a rising tonic triad in second inversion and shift to dominant, after which it ends with a tremolo and is immediately seconded by brass. The steelpan plays this again with a second part providing harmonic support a third apart. Strings and a piano and provide a brief minor transition, and a xylophone and flute play a rising passage with ends with a resolution similar to that of "[[Green Greens (theme)|Green Greens]]" before peaking with a steelpan dominant fanfare. The brass picks up for the climactic third section, with this new melody sharing instrumental, harmonic and rhythmical similarities with "[[Apple Scramble (theme)|Apple Scramble]]", which is seconded by the previous rising passage in the lower registers. The flute and xylophone join for a gentle cadence through A minor and back, reminiscent of phrases from the first section of "Green Greens". The brass reprises the rising passage and dominant fanfare, resulting in a (harmonic) G major finale. After a small pause, the percussive intro repeats as the track loops. | "Flagball" is a cheerful theme in C major and 4/4. It begins with a simple percussive intro.
