Crazy Cat - Les Taylor
Played in a fast swing style, this easy piece will get your audience clapping and toe-tapping right from the downbeat. The percussion parts are written to be played similar to the way a set drummer would drive a big band. The saxes and clarinets in the chalumeau register are featured in a stop-time chorus that should bring your audience to its feet.

This delightful march from Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11, K.331 is masterfully scored by Robert Longfield in a light, allegretto style. The piece moves between a B minor/major tonality. Robert has layered many of the sections to create a moving and ever-changing timbrel pattern. An easy grade 4.

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)

America - Samuel F. Smith
A stately fanfare in the upper brass and woodwinds serves as an introduction to this fresh and easy treatment of America. After the main theme appears, a transition sets up a key change from B-flat to E-flat and builds to a climax punctuated by a trumpet and snare drum tag. An excellent patriotic salute!

Call to Glory - Elliot Del Borgo
This extensive, processional-like piece is an easy grade 2 and will work nicely as either a contest warm-up or impressive concert finale. Most of the low brass and woodwinds are scored together and the second clarinet remains below the break. Eb is the highest pitch for trumpet.

Ancient Visions - Roland Barrett
After a brief lyrical introduction, Roland Barrett begins a rhythmic ostinato that sets the stage for the heroic statements made by the brass. Open 5ths become very effective in the simple contrapuntal writing that adds to the overall energy. Brief solo trumpet is used in the lyrical middle section before a climax presented by full band. The final section brings back material from the opening with a key change that adds even more intensity to the exciting conclusion. An easy, yet effective contest or festival work.

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!
