Fun and energetic, your beginning band students will love this. The infectious groove, handclapping, and driving drum beat propel this spirited piece all the way to the end. Using only the first six notes introduced in most band methods, this piece is an excellent choice for a school assembly, parent meeting, pep rally, or concert closer.

The American folk tune Nettleton is the basis for this moving and musical setting. The beautiful melody is also associated with the hymn Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing and is given a wonderfully expressive treatment that will enhance any concert or contest performance

Twas the week before Christmas and Leon, a disgruntled elf who has just started working in Santa’s workshop, is writing journal entries about each difficult day. The band replies with a humorously arranged Christmas carol that provides a snapshot of all the unfortunate events taking place, such as wooden soldiers who break rank and fight to defective reindeer harnesses that accidentally come with cowbells. But in the end, Leon realizes that his work is important and that being a Christmas elf has its rewards. Perfect to feature an administrator or teacher as narrator. Simply delightful!
arr: Richard L. Saucedo
Based on Saucedo’s popular setting for standard concert band, this holiday favorite has been adapted for the flex-band format. This sparkling version features a seasonal energy throughout as well as an ingenious quote of Jingle Bells in a minor key that will sound great with bands of any sizes or instrumentation.

This powerful Christmas march includes Joy to the World, Jingle Bells and We Wish You a Merry Christmas, all separated by percussion breaks. An unusually good Christmas chart!

This exciting work is guaranteed to make your beginners sound like pros! The brass has a strong, rugged sound underneath rhythmic woodwind ostinatos, and the piece easily comes together to display all the fury of a tempest!

Heralded by a fanfare-like figure for trumpets in the first strain, here is an appealing German-style march solidly scored for young players. Low brass take the lead on the second strain, followed by a contrasting lyrical section featuring the woodwinds. The full ensemble brings us to a rousing finish in this excellent march.

An Oriental atmosphere is created by the floating melodies of this exotic piece. In the opening, a long, sensitive melodic line emerges, supported by Western-style harmonies. Just as a dainty flower slowly opens, this expressive music blossoms into a work of delicate beauty.

This fascinating work utilizes the pentatonic scale to paint a portrait of the beautiful red-crowned crane in flight. The playful melody is passed from section to section, allowing all of your players to shine in this multicultural piece. A perfect choice for your next festival, contest, or community performance.

All the excitement of the bullring abounds in this Spanish-flavored original! The syncopated bass line with lots of percussion creates an atmosphere of high energy and drama, and the melody played by the trumpets in thirds sounds really authentic! Guaranteed to be popular with students and parents alike, this work will provide an excellent change of pace for your next concert program. Ole!
