Chasing Orion - Roland Barrett

refers to the practice of celestial navigation, or "sailing by the stars." It was inspired by the rich early history of maritime sailing and the commercial shipping industry. After traveling to distant and exotic lands, the fast clipper ships raced toward home, their holds bursting with grain, wool, spices, gold, and other treasures. Catapulted forward by the "roaring forties" wind currents, the sleek and elegant sailing ships swept around the ever-dangerous Cape Horn as they navigated by the stars, "chasing Orion." A dramatic new addition to the young band literature! This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Chewy Chocolate! - David M. Martin

With a subtitle like "Whatsa That on Your Lip?," you've got to expect some humor. David Martin does not disappoint in this tongue-in-cheek work for young band. The bass line is repetitive yet clever, the melody cute but not cloying, and you'll find yourself absent-mindedly wiping your chin with a tissue!
