Blackbeard—Randall Standridge. Sail the high
seas in this exciting work for beginning band!
Written to sound much more mature than a
beginning work, this exciting adventure in 3/4
time only uses seven different rhythms and a
six-note range to create an achievable challenge
to spur the growth of your young mateys! Pirate
chants and bombastic percussion, as well as
introductions to first/second endings and D.C.
al Coda, make this a work that your developing
musicians are sure to love! Optional clarinet and
saxophone parts that double the horn part add to
the flexibility. Rated ARRGH!

at breakneck speed! This high-wire work for

finish! Easy eighth-note patterns create anchor
points for this work, while clever use of percussion
equipment, upper brass honks, and cool harmonic
tension put you directly behind the wheel.

The Country Club Stomp!—JaRod Hall.
Experience a New Orleans vibe with this exciting,
parade-inspired crowd pleaser! A celebration of
music, life, and love, this piece has an infectious
rhythmic groove and a spirited melody. Elements
of jazz occur throughout, and there is strong
reference to the West African circle dances from
which this music evolved. Stellar writing that
is fun, catchy, informative, spirited – and very
accessible. Musicians and audiences won't be
able to get enough!

Creepy Crawlies—Michael Story. Your audience
might squirm a bit when they hear this creepy
novelty! Some cute mouthpiece effects will bring
vivid images of hovering bugs (perhaps too
vivid!) but rest assured, the bugs will get it in the
end. Along with the fun, there's also some good
staccato work and some technique work for the
woodwinds. A fun piece for beginners!

Creepy-Crawly Creatures—Brian Balmages.
"Creepy-crawly creatures, often out of sight.
Snoozing all throughout the day and partying
all night..." So begins the accompanying poem
to this delightful work by Brian Balmages,
celebrating those friends with whom many of us
have "complicated relationships." A clever work
playable by the youngest of bands! (1:40)

scoring will make this a concert favorite!

energy work features intricate rhythms, vibrant

iPad with the GarageBand application for one
Halloween piece everyone will be talking about
long after the concert!
