Junkyard Jam (For Drums, Trash Cans,
Buckets and Bands)Kevin Mixon. You'll have
to bring in the trash for this hard-driving number!

styles, there's also and added twist: percussionists
perform on optional "junkyard" instruments such
as 5-gallon buckets and plastic garbage cans and
lids. A spirited middle section allows other band
members to join in the fun too. Sure to be a favorite
for everyone!

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!

l One Sunday MorningDavid Bobrowitz. The
excitement of a Southern Gospel church service is
effectively captured in this driving, energetic piece.
Soloists (flute, alto sax, clarinet, and trumpet) take
the place of the preacher when they "perform the
service" and lead the musical congregation. Further
capturing the gospel feel are hand clapping and a
prominent tambourine part. Your audience will be
shouting "Hallelujah!" at the end of this spirited
musical romp!
