The Centurions - James Curnow
The final bars of CENTURIONS take Grade 1 music to new heights of excitement! Artful composition for the first year band with limited ranges and rhythms makes this one you'll use again and again. Some easy use of 16th notes (for the Snare Drum only) helps to generate that extra bit of energy that lifts this one over the top while keeping the Percussion parts interesting for the players. Flute fingerings are kept easily manageable throughout and Brass ranges are carefully controlled.Appropriate for any program, CENTURIONS will inspire your young musicians to a bold and dramatic performance. Excellent for cross-curriculum teaching with history

There are a lot of great suggestions included in the "Notes to the Director," which will help get them playing the way you'd like them to.Let them have fun while they learn!

Aardvark Parade - Graydon A. Toms
You can almost smell the aardvarks! Oh, no, wait. The kids had P.E. just before band rehearsal. Never mind.Seriously though, this cheerful and engaging new piece by Graydon Toms is a sure winner for every Grade 1 1/2 band. Big areas of contrast between the upper Woodwinds and the Brass and Saxophone combination ensure that each player feels important to the group, while an easy change of tempo near the end helps the piece sound harder than it plays.Whimsical!
