conclude your concert or contest on a heroic
powerful note!

Starfire Fanfare—Randall D. Standridge. Introduce
and reinforce 6/8 time with this exciting concert
opener for beginners. Using only five 6/8 rhythm
patterns and the first six notes learned (with a few
accidentals for color), it's is an excellent way to teach
this meter to your developing musicians. Careful
consideration to doubling important lines provides a
piece that will sound full with ensembles of any size.

The Steel Mill—Rob Grice. This programmatic
work depicts the sounds of an early steel mill.
Carefully written so it can be performed in the
first year of instruction, it uses only the first notes
learned in most band methods. Young players get
the experience of performing a mature-sounding
concert work with reasonable technical demands
and fun special effects.

warrior. Powerful!

recorded. As the work opens, the music evokes
the power and majesty of the great mountain.

The Tears of Arizona—Brian Balmages.
Commissioned to commemorate the 75th
anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the music
begins very solemnly, referring to the "tears" of oil
that continue to be shed daily by the sunken ship.
The section The Pride of Arizona moves past the
tears and to the pride of the crew members and the
feeling of the "spirit of aloha." Percussion loosely
imitates the groove of a luau, yet is juxtaposed
with moments of pause and reflection. The final
statement feels incomplete, reminding the audience
that the tears have not stopped flowing. Magical!

The Tempest—Robert W. Smith. 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! This would make a great opener for
any young band concert, and your audience will
be amazed at how good The Tempest makes your
group sound!

their hands up in the air, reveling in unabashed joy
before the car coasts to a stop.

Thunderbolt Fanfare—Brian Balmages. Clusters
of sound and unrelenting rhythmic drive recreate
the experience the composer had when his home
was hit by a powerful lightning strike. The work has
an urgency about it, with brief moments of release
before tension begins to build again. Percussion
plays a big role throughout, and a twist occurs
toward the end as the inexhaustible energy moves

Violento—Victor Lopez. Give your beginning
band students the opportunity to play an upbeat
piece full of excitement! This forceful and
rhythmically driven composition sounds more
difficult than written. A mixture of the danzon -
