Bugler's Holiday—Leroy Anderson/arr. Cook. Even
though all the double-tonguing has been removed
and you will find nothing faster than an eighth note,
this masterful arrangement of Leroy Anderson's
immortal masterpiece is a guaranteed winner.
Perfect to feature a trumpet trio or the entire section,
you definitely will not want to miss this! Highly
recommended! (Trumpet Trio or Section E, Band E)

Chips, and Salsa Too—Ed Kiefer. Written with
upbeat Latin rhythms, this delightful piece begins
with colorful percussion sounds complementing
a hypnotic rhythmic motif in the winds. A tuneful
melody in the clarinets soon follows, bubbling joyfully
above the well-established percussion groove. Other
instruments gradually enter in layers until all the
sections arrive and join in the musical party.

l Cool Breeze—Chris M. Bernotas. There is nothing
like sitting outside in the spring or fall, relaxing
and enjoying a cool breeze! Students will be
adding their own "coolness" as they get a chance
to play a solo! Students can play the written solos
(included on the Educational Packs) or make up
their own! The piece offers a fantastic opportunity
to help students become familiar with swing
rhythms and harmonies.

Cowbell Lullaby—Katheryn Fenske. Moos...
cowbells... yodels... alphorns... this is an
imaginative piece which transports the audience to
Switzerland, joining cows at the end of their day's
journey high in the Alps. The herd comes to life in
the opening measures until the cows are calmed
by a delicate lullaby. Dance music of the town band
stirs them up before the lullaby once again calls
them to bed. Your students will "udderly" enjoy
hanging out with the cows in this one!
11206737 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .59.00
Dachshund Trot—Karen K. Robertson. Take your
students on the journey of a curious dachshund,
discovering and sniffing out the world at her own
pace. It is a wonderful way to introduce your
youngest players to mixed meter in an easy,
laid back way. The walking "trot" tempo allows
beginners to feel at ease while counting in 5/4
time. It also allows your players to connect to the
piece with their own special friend at home, having
meaning to all pet lovers out there.

Dr. Rockenstein—Steve Hodges. This is a really
clever little number! Take some of the more
memorable "scary" musical motives, add a fun rock
beat, and you've got the perfect end-of-rehearsal
piece! All sections of the band get a chance to
shine, including lots of active parts for percussion,
making this a real hit with band and audience alike!
2419273 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .49.00
Finding My Way—Rebecca G. Jarvis. This
original rock-style power ballad is a musical journey
that begins with a lyrical statement, tentative at
first, which gradually grows in confidence. The
ballad "finds its way" in the second theme, building
into a bold and affirmative musical statement that
drives to a joyous conclusion. Lyrical melodies
accompanied by gentle rock rhythms are laid
over percussion parts that combine to give the
impression of a full drum set backing up the band
in this fun piece. Find your way, and rock on!
11206722 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .59.00
Fright Night—arr. James Kazik. Halloween is
always one of the highlights of the fall season.
Why not add a little drama and excitement to your
autumn concert with some classic scary themes?
Featuring Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, Funeral
March of a Marionette; Theme from "Jaws;"
Addams Family Theme; Night on Bald Mountain
and Thriller, this may very well become the hit of
the concert!
10283903 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .60.00
l Groovin'—Steve Hodges. Fingers will be snapping
with this one! It features a walking bass line and
jazz drum patterns that provide a strong foundation
for the catchy melodies and jazz articulations. The
drummers will love the short fills and interplay with
the rest of the band. A great opportunity for the
young concert band to get their groove on with this
fun jazz piece!
11347140 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .55.00
Half Off!—Amy Webb. Teaching students the
concept of cut time in music can be difficult and
daunting, but that is not the case with this engaging
lighthearted piece. Using only notes and rests that
are easily divisible by two, combined with a catchy
tune, this song will quickly show kids that cut time
is nothing to be feared and actually a lot of fun to
play. Onward and upward!
11206887 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .49.00
Island Dreams—Charlie Hill. Bring the lighter side
to your next concert with this sun-filled, fun-filled
Caribbean-style program piece. The light and airy
melodies and calypso-flavored percussion will have
everyone in a pleasantly relaxed mood as they dream
of warm tropical breezes and bright sunlit beaches.
11207373 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .58.00
Jam on Top—Mark Lortz. This jazzy piece,
written in a standard blues progression, is a
good introduction to this essential musical style.
Written to be performed in either a straight rock
or a swing feel, directors looking to highlight their
saxophonists should consider this piece. There are
multiple solo to soli saxophone options in the style
of an open jazz vamp. The drum parts are written
for multiple players, but you can also feature a
young drum set performer.
11205086 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .60.00
Mallet Maniacs—Mark Williams. You've got to
check this one out! If you have mallet percussionists
in your band, whether they play marimba,
xylophone, bells or vibraphone, you'll want this
piece in your library! Mark Williams has written an
incredibly appealing tune with a nostalgic comic
flair, featuring light syncopation over a fun bass
line, but that's just the beginning. The real magic
in this one is found in the awesome mallet parts,
that can be played by one or many percussionists!
The parts lay easily as well, and only require two
mallets. The glissandos are on the "natural" notes,
so it sounds much more difficult than it is. Very
highly recommended!
2475347 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .49.00
Monsterville—Joel Spineti. Capture the spooky,
yet joyous spirit of Halloween with this clever work.
The intriguing sounds alternate between the dark
and foreboding music in the opening to a light
and quirky melody that captures the atmosphere
of this special time of year. An endless range of
possibilities await the imagination in this fun, spine-
tingling work.
11002237 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .60.00
Secret Agent Rock—Mekel Rogers. This original
work pays homage to spy music with a rock and roll
twist. The melody takes the audience on a fun ride

easy ranges, solid scoring, and active percussion
parts that result in a fun, contrasting piece that will
entertain both students and audiences alike.

March Fo(u)rth!; A Little Funeral Music, Please
(Eine kleine Trauermusik) and Finale. A masterful
demonstration of compositional techniques that
