The Dreaded Devious Diabolical Dotted Dragon
—Nathan Farrell. This incredibly creative piece will
light up your band room with dragon fire! Knight your
students with the armor of subdivision and attack the
dreaded dotted quarter note! Protect the villagers with
intriguing percussion colors and fun yet surprisingly
simple melodic lines. Designed to engage each
section of the band with intuitive rhythms that take
the bite out of the "dot," your students will love this
epic musical quest. (1:53)

Eerie Escapade—Steve Shanley. A mysterious
and subdued opening transitions into a macabre
theme with a march-style setting before culminating
in a "terrorific" tarantella. Spooky themes, great
coloring, and very creative scoring will make this very
accessible work for young bands a favorite on any
concert program!

The Great Green Kazoo—Carol Brittin Chambers.
A light and fun piece that gives players a chance
to step outside the box with some unconventional
instruments... kazoos! Multiple meter changes add to
the excitement and excellent unison rhythm scoring
makes them highly playable. A crowd favorite!

Groovy-8—Randall D. Standridge. A throwback to
the Mod style of the 1960s and '70s! This groovy
tune focuses on developing eighth-note articulation
and counting while also providing a fun showcase for
young bands looking to entertain their audiences. A
full-ensemble clapping moment adds another element
of fun and visual interest. Get into the groove!

The Haunted Carousel—Erika Svanoe. This
work utilizes the sound of a theremin, an electronic
instrument often used in old science fiction and
horror movies and the part is optional, doubled
by instruments of the band. The theremin part is
designed to be performed on an amplified iPad with
the GarageBand application for one Halloween piece
everyone will be talking about long after the concert!

Kvetchers (Surprises in Controversial Time)—
Laura Estes. A colloquial term for "complainers,"
Kvetchers is a fun and quirky concert march in the
style of a musical joke. Wonderfully scored, each
section has its own "surprise," perfect for working
on independent section playing. Audiences will really
enjoy this one!

Mechanical Monsters—Randall D. Standridge.
Shambling creatures made of metal come to life in
this eerie offering for beginning band. The first six
notes taught (plus one extra accidental!) are utilized
in a unique fashion to create a work that sounds
much more difficult than it is. Playful interplay of
eighth notes, metallic percussion, and moments for
the winds to "hiss" and play rhythms on their stands
combine to great effect in this work that is sure to grab
your players' attention.

Megawatt Rock—Robert Sheldon. Light up your
next concert! This high-energy rock-style piece with
its rhythmic drive and power chords is sure to amp up
the spirit in your students' performance. Using only the
first seven notes that most beginning band students
learn, the rhythms, dynamics, articulation, key, and
style provide electrifying teaching moments that occur
throughout the piece - at no extra "charge!" (1:53)

Midnight Waltz—Matt Neufeld. Bring a uniquely
lilting yet haunting feel to your concert! This lively
minor-key waltz brings an eerie scene to mind as
creatures of the night dance until dawn. After a brief
introduction where the dancers seem to curtsey
to each other, the elegant but slightly demented
waltz melody is ushered in by saxophones. Melodic
elements are added as the piece progresses and
gains energy, with all instruments getting important
roles in the melodic fabric.

Popcorn Prelude—Mike Hannickel. Perfect for a
first concert, this light piece will please player and
audience alike when your students pop up and
down just like popcorn. Each section gets to stand
up and play a one-measure feature at various times
throughout the tune. A fun and entertaining snack.

Quite the Kerfuffle—Peter Sciaino. "Organized
chaos" comes to mind when describing this topsy-
turvy original work. Chromaticism, glissandos, grace
notes, and even a big, raucous percussion break all
combine to create this experience that your students
will love to rehearse and perform.

Sea Shanty Saga (Four Sea Shanties - Flexcel
Concert Works)—arr. Tyler Arcari. Who would
have thought that sea shanties would have caused
a huge social media craze? These four classic
yet timely shanties are scored in full four-part flex
with percussion and viola world parts. They are
also perfectly suitable for festival performance and
countless other applications. Fun and energetic!

Tadpoles—Randall Standridge. Leap into action with
this fun and imaginative work for beginning bands.
Serving as an introduction to leaps for your developing
ensembles, this piece paints an amusing portrait of
young frogs frolicking and splashing as they learn to
leap, using frog guiros, flexatones, slide whistles, and
trombone glissandi. Several optional parts add to the
flexibility of this work that will help your students get
the "jump" on technical development.

Trombones Save The Universe—Larry Neeck.
Trombones to the rescue! This creative pro-
grammatic work puts your trombone section in the
spotlight. With heroic themes as well as moments
of danger, this piece is a joy for the entire band.
An excellent opportunity for teaching trombones
glissando as well as the elusive seventh position.
Great for recruitment too!
