There's even some stomps and hand claps to add to the experience. Your students and audience will enjoy this one. Lots of fun! 10008670 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .45.00 Huevos Rancheros—George T. Frueh.

Its lively dance-like character will be a popular addition to any concert occasion. 2301570 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .46.00 One Bow Concerto—Richard Meyer. Your audience will laugh out loud! A violinist, a violist and a cellist have soloist seats in front of the orchestra, and they share just one bow, passing it to one another just in the nick of time. The orchestra is all pizzicato, so there really is only one bow. "But a cellist shouldn't use a violin bow," you think. Right, so they stop passing it to him and the cellist shows what he thinks of that! By the end the bow is in the hand of the conductor. Recommended as a show-stopper! 2475422 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .62.00 Pioneer Hoedown—Matt Turner.

All the bases are covered for successful performance! 10008666 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .40.00 Rock Bottom Boogie—Robert Longfield.

An E minor driving rock beat and two sets of parts will allow you to combine absolute beginners and second year students with great success. The easier parts are simple rhythms, and use limited range with no low-2 finger patterns.

The rocking drum set will keep the ensemble together. 10882339 Multi-Level Orchestra . . . . . . .42.00 Secret Agent—Kathryn Griesinger. This fun tune evokes classic spy dramas, full of intrigue and mystery, with just a few easy sixteenth notes and accidentals along the way.

This is sure to be the hit of the concert! 2474322 String Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . .50.00 H Blue Rhythmico—Kirt N. Mosier. Like the title implies, there's a powerful rhythm and some jazzy blue notes, nothing subtle here!
