Rite of Passage - Brian Balmages
A beginning band piece limited to a 6-note range, Rite of Passage will have your band playing together in very little time. Utilizing smaller chamber sections as well as the full band, this is an excellent teaching piece. With no clarinets over the break and no trumpets higher than a written A, this is a very easy Grade 1 concert march.

Thunder and Lightning - Les Taylor
There are plenty of special effects in this easy, yet entertaining beginning band work. Students finger their keys rapidly, whisper "shh" through their mouthpieces, and even have parts for optional camera flashes! Stage lights can be turned on and off for further effect. A wonderful contemporary-sounding piece! (2:49)

Alligator Alley - Les Taylor
Simple percussive effects using woodblock, vibraslap, and slapstick will bring this piece to life.

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.

Turkish March - Robert Longfield
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!
