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!

Clutch—Brian Balmages. Fasten your seatbelts
for this aggressive and harmonically colorful work!
This fiery piece is an intense experience, using
percussion to establish a strong rhythmic pulse
that complements the powerful melodic lines
throughout. While the piece has an amazingly
complex sound and vivid imagery, it attains
this while remaining very achievable by young
musicians! (1:30)

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.

Dark Beginnings—Randall D. Standridge.
Familiar beginning band tunes (Hot Cross Buns;
Mary Had a Little Lamb; Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
and Baa, Baa, Black Sheep) are mashed together
with a sinister twist! These songs are trans-
formed into minor mode versions and set along with
bombastic percussion, driving rhythms, and vocal
effects for the winds in this imaginative and engaging
arrangement. Optional easier snare drum and
mallet parts will ensure this work remains appropriate
for first- or second-year players. Use the download-
able melody sheet to assist in your musicians'
development. A perfect way to make some of the
first tunes your students learned cool again.

superior first serious piece for your young
band, this overture is filled with all the vigor
and passion you'd expect! Terrific teaching
opportunities abound, including a chance to work

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!

articulations. Great percussion scoring as well,
including a bell solo. A perfect concert opener!

Balmages. This sensitive setting is right on target

important expressive performance skills. It's
less than two minutes long, so endurance is
not an issue, making this short, but very, very
sweet. Three chorales are included to expand
the learning experience. It also makes a great
warm-up for older bands!
