Mechanical Monsters (Flexible Instrumentation)—
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 flexible work
that is sure to grab your players' attention.

excitement of spy and detective movies is translated
to your young band's performance! Beginning with a
brief 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!

Pelican Dance—Steve Dunn. Quirky, fun, and fresh,
this dancelike composition was inspired by the pelicans
observed on the composer's way to work. The opening
motif, played by the entire ensemble in the first
measure, is fundamental to the entire work. Stated in
some form at the beginning of each musical section, it
even appears as a bass line. Performed at one tempo
throughout, this can be used to work on dynamic
contrasts that are so essential in music performance
while also reinforcing how a theme can be changed
and developed throughout a piece. Percussion drives
the energy and lets your percussionists develop their
skills on hand percussion. Enjoy the dance!

Piñata!—William Owens. This spirited, Latin-flavored
piece captures all the excitement of a lively party with a

and rhythms are incredibly engaging, capturing the
spirit of children as they seek to capture the prizes
within! Challenge your motivated percussionists with
the advanced part, or take advantage of the more
accessible one. Either way, it sounds great! (1:30)

Reptilia (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.

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.
