Thundercrest - Quincy C. Hilliard
Opening with a slow and lyrical section, the piece soon moves into a fast, exciting tempo. Lower voices have plenty of chances to be heard playing the melody while upper voices provide harmonic and rhythmic background. Strong percussion and a lot of rhythmic unison hits really help add to the drama and excitement of this new work.

Zip Drive - Les Taylor
Snares off create a tom-tom effect to start this fast, 2-beat swinger. Easy ranges and rhythms with mild syncopation help drive this one "pedal to the metal." Everyone is featured for four measures on a break chorus. If you cannot play this fast, slow it down. It sounds great at a moderate 4-beat tempo as well. (1:31)

Take the Blues Train - Robert Longfield
What a great combination - a locomotive chugging out of the station, gradually gaining speed, and the great American 12-bar blues form. This fun piece is loaded with special effects including a second percussion part with anvil, triangle, and suspended cymbal to simulate the sound of the train. The band adds a shhh to help generate more steam and excitement. A great crowd-pleaser!

Six Tone Builders, Set 2
After the enormous success of his first set of tone builders, we are pleased to include a second set of short arrangements and chorales. These are perfect to work on band balance and intonation, and Lloyd Conley has included slight chromaticism to help bands solve many different types of intonation problems. This is an ideal resource for all elementary and middle school directors looking to develop the sound of their ensemble.

Galactic Conflict - Timothy Loest
This invigorating work makes great use of percussion. Reminiscent of Holst's famous portrayal of Mars, the driving rhythmic motif is immediately introduced with rhythmic hits reinforced in the upper brass and woodwinds. Several themes are layered for an effect that is easy to achieve with bands at this level. A brief lyrical section provides some creative harmonies which will help develop the musicianship of your band. The opening material then returns for a powerful conclusion. Highly recommended!

Equus - Erik Morales
Equus, Latin for "horse," takes us on a thrilling ride on one of these magnificent animals. Wood blocks help create the sound of the horse as the ensemble comes along for the ride. A serene section at the same tempo almost seems to slow the ride down, so listeners can take the time to appreciate the scenery around them. The opening material then returns as the piece comes to a strong conclusion.

Kilauea - Brian Balmages
Simple aleatoric passages help recreate the effect of an erupting volcano in this powerful yet extremely playable composition. Using bass drum to suggest the groaning of the volcano, the lyrical opening foreshadows the wildness of the eruption, and in transition, students play any notes and rhythms desired. As the lava begins to flow, a cacophonous ostinato appears over a menacing theme in the trumpets and low voices. In addition to the regular part, an optional advanced snare drum part is included for accomplished percussionists. The combination of styles along with exciting new sounds for young band make this a must for your next concert! (2:40)
