Abaco Beach Vacation - Mike Hannickel
Sometimes though, it's hard to find performance literature that lets us continue teaching the basics while we prepare the beginning band for a concert. We need easy performance music that helps make basic techniques come alive for the students. Composed by a full-time "young band" director, Abaco Beach Vacation is designed to do just that. 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!

Who did it? - Jacob de Haan
Who did it? is a composition for youth bands with limited instrumentation. While composing it, Jacob de Haan was inspired by a familiar situation: a child caught doing something mischievous such as taking another child's toy, and trying to get away with it. The other children, however, notice this. The fast tempo of this work reflects the chase that follows - this will be fun for all the band members.
