Joseph Benjamin Earp. A fun and out-of-the-box
piece inspired by Pachelbel's Canon. Utilizing

percussion section is the feature in this inspired
take on a timeless classic scored for flexible
instrumentation. Featuring elementary students
on their Boomwhackers, this is a great finale and
recruitment piece for any program!

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.

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 . . . . . . . .52.00
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!

Funky Penguins—Mike Collins-Dowden.
Bring some Antarctic fun to your next concert!
An ice-cold bass line supports a bluesy melody
with lots of slip-sliding slurs, all backed up by
the percussion section playing a funky rock
beat. Your audience will tap their flippers while
waddling in the aisles! (2:10)
11511642 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .60.00
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!
11392876 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .65.00
Grenadilla Jungle—Heather Hoefle. Take your
audience for a walk through the jungle and help
your clarinets get over the break at the same
time! Clarinet pop-ups over the break sound
at home in the jungle surrounded by colorful
percussion and skittering creatures. Give your
clarinets the practice they need while preparing
this fun piece for your next concert performance!
11518453 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .65.00
Mallet Maniacs (Mallet Percussion
Feature)—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!

Operation Super Sleuth—Christina Huss.
Warning! This description will self-destruct
in thirty seconds! The excitement of spy and
detective movies is translated to your young

slow section to set a film noir-esque mood, the
work quickly moves into a faster mode in 3/4
time as the chase is on! Rhythmic and driving,
this work will provide a great challenge for your
developing musicians! ...3 ...2 ...1 ...BOOM!
11515761 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .65.00
Reptillia (Slithering Sixteenths)—Heather
Hoefle. It may be a creeping alligator, but it's
not my alligator! Provide your students practice
performing sixteenth notes at a moderate
tempo with this programmatic piece. Hold on
to your quarter notes as the alligator jaws snap
in the percussion section! A great piece to
perform in the middle of your program.

Fiesta de la Playa (Beach Party)—Matthew
Manning. The tropical rhythms and harmonies
of Caribbean and South American locations are

this fantastic genre of music. Carefully scored
for younger ensembles, this work is sure to be

ensemble to the high seas under the Jolly
Roger with this rollicking adventure inspired
by a lifelong fascination with pirate tales and
the seafaring way of life that pirates led. A
wonderful etude in 3/4 time for your young
band. Yaaarrgh! Correlates with Tradition of
Excellence Book 1, page 33.
11521101 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .65.00
Shredder—Peter Sciaino. Once a reliable
and trustworthy office machine, Shredder
has fallen from grace to seek revenge on
its sworn enemies and arch-nemeses: the
teachers. After a long relationship of perceived
disrespect, this dark lord of Xerox will stop
at nothing as it crunches and crinkles its
way toward its revenge. Ultimately, the gut-
wrenching tones of the paper jam prevail, but
not before everyone has a blast bringing the
story to life! Hilarious sound files are provided
to help the narrative, or, alternatively, a guest
narrator (perhaps a school administrator) can
add a really fun element to any concert!
11518483 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .65.00

sound like with the chaos that ensues when
a dog sees a squirrel? Well, wonder no more!

the piece everyone will be talking about long
after the concert. The perfect closer!
11501893 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .65.00
Trombones Save the Universe—Larry
Neeck. Trombones to the rescue! This
creative programmatic 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!
11402284 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .50.00
Twisted Tango—Larry Neeck. A fun take on
the popular Latin dance. A tuneful melody,
great scoring, and quirky effects like slide and
siren whistles will have your students having
so much fun they won't even realize they are
learning about syncopation and chromaticism.
11517892 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .60.00
Valley of Shadows—LeAndre Benton. Starting
aggressively with a simple melody and active
percussion, this piece about the adventure of
walking through a scary forested valley lets you
introduce programmatic music to your students
in a fun and entertaining way. Along the journey,
they will encounter a snake represented
by a ratchet, and they'll use contemporary
techniques like dissonance, screaming, and
clapping. With active percussion and plenty
of rhythmic challenges, this is at the upper
level for a beginning band composition and is
most appropriate for a second-year concert or
advanced first-year band.
11516683 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .53.00
Zydeco Cajun Crawdad Dance—Roland
Barrett. The spirit of a festive backwoods
jubilee comes to life with some real Cajun
merry-making! This spicy combination of
musical elements will have everyone dancing in
the aisles and craving some gumbo when they
sample this lively Zydeco dance music. It's time
to break out your washboard and join the fun!
