CONCERT & CONTEST
B E G I N N I N G & V E R Y E ASY
Armory—Randall D. Standridge. A bombastic
work for young band inspired by video game
music. It alternates between minor and Phrygian
modes to create a dark and sinister soundscape.
The use of aggressive articulations and brake
drum give the work an industrial and militaristic
feel. Safe performances are NOT recommended.
Suit up. Grab your weapon. Go to war!

H
Colliding Visions—Brian Balmages. A beautiful
melody and lovely suspensions open this well-
written work. Playful themes then set the tone for
a bright allegro section. The two styles collide as
the allegro abruptly ends and the opening theme
returns, then fades to a whisper.

Creatures in the Attic—Brian Balmages.
While everyone is asleep, your attic is coming to
life with mysterious sounds as creatures come
out and celebrate nightfall. The music begins
quietly then continuously builds as the goblins
and ghosts become more active. Dissonant
chords, descriptive percussion parts, trombone
glissandos, instrument key clicking and random
note playing all create a ghoulishly good time in
this adorable yet creepy work for young bands.

The Dragon Lord—Randall D. Standridge.
A new chapter in the Darklands Saga begins
with this aggressive work for young ensembles
which includes exciting rhythms and bombastic
percussion. Includes additional teaching materials
such as full ensemble chromatic exercises and
a short story. Optional click and backing tracks
as well as the ability to duplicate parts make
this an ideal choice for ensembles looking for
ultimate flexibility in live or online rehearsal and
performance.

Dragon Slayer—Rob Grice. You'll feel the
fire of the dragon in this dark, medieval-
sounding piece! The percussion section leads
the way, using a brake drum and gong, and
the winds contribute with a robust style and
modal sounds. It all adds up to one dramatic
presentation. Using only six notes and note
values no smaller than a quarter note, it really
is playable for that first concert, and your
beginning students will love to play it!

Furioso—Robert W. Smith. Magnificent! A
superior "first serious piece" for your young band,
this overture is filled with all the vigor and passion
you'd expect from the title! Terrific teaching
opportunities abound, including a chance to work
on independent parts (with doublings to ensure
success), optional trombone glissandos and a
few eighth note passages to develop technique.
The expanded percussion and solidly scored
parts are sure to build confidence. An exciting
work! Very highly recommended!

percussion add to the appeal of this mysterious
sounding piece for young bands.
