l Alien Marching Machine—John Prescott.
This fun and creative work is a sci-fi saga in the
form of an alien invasion. Mysterious visitors from
outer space are on a quest for world domination
with a formidable weapon, a giant robotic android.
The music vividly describes this massive, ominous
and seemingly unstoppable machine clanking
along as the alien troops march forward, bent on
total conquest.

taking over the band, and they've started with your
trombone section! Special percussion and wind
effects, haunting melodies, and a relentless beat

Crooked Toe Walks the Deck!—
James Meredith.
Delightfully scary with a distinct
pirate theme, this piece will intrigue performers and
audiences alike with catchy original themes as well
as the subtle use of classical themes. This makes
it fun but also educational, giving teachers the
opportunity to stimulate students' interest in more
varied literature.

Dark Energy—Robert L. Lee. An aggressive
composition for beginning band that draws on the
composer's experiences as a middle school band
director. Every section is featured in this fierce
work - a bold theme is contrasted with a staccato
woodwind feature that is followed by a low brass
and woodwind lead section that leads back to the
main theme. This is the type of music students love!

The Dark Waters—Matt Conaway. The eerie
mythological rivers of the underworld provide a
foreboding backdrop to this distinctly programmatic
piece. Alternatively powerful and restrained,
this journey down the River Styx evokes images
of velocity, dread, and ultimately salvation. An
engaging and impressive musical depiction for your
next concert or festival performance.

DarkHeart (Escape from DarkHeart Castle)
—Randall Standridge.
The final movement
of "The Darklands Symphony" wraps the work
up in a very gripping way, musically depicting
a daring escape from the castle DarkHeart. Its
dark, brooding nature is portrayed by the driving
rhythms, dissonances and trills. The plainchant
Dies Irae is used prominently as thematic
material that ties the entire symphony together.
DarkHeart can very successfully be performed as
a standalone work. Menacing!

The Ghost Lights of Newton County—
John Prescott.
Mysterious and intriguing ghost
lights, also known as "will-o'-the-wisps" and "spook
lights," have been reported around the world. The
same air of mystery and suspense that surrounds
these eerie events is reflected by the creative writing
and special effects of this evocative work. The
effect can be further enhanced by using flashlights
to create your very own "ghost lights" to add an
entirely new dimension to concert programming.

Ghost Run—Grant Michel. Spookiness abounds
in this aggressive and fun piece for concert band
written in a standard theme-and-variations form.
It's an intriguing composition beginning with a bold
opening statement that gives way to a funky ostinato
that bolsters the main theme. Included in the mix are
quotes of Dies Irae and the music of J.S. Bach to
add a slightly haunting nature.

Ghost Ship—Shaun Salem. This adventurous
pirate-themed piece for young concert bands
opens with the dark, ominous sound of low brass,
low reeds, and the haunting ring of a ship's bell. A
sudden change to a quick tempo alerts your crew
that there's danger on the horizon, and as melodic
fragments and ideas spread across the woodwinds
and brass they prepare for battle. Then, with a
thunderous timpani solo broadside, the fight is on!

Ghostbusters—arr. Michael Story. The famous
theme from the blockbuster movie series is perfect
for busting ghosts at Halloween or any time of the
year, complete with optional vocals for added fun.
There are plenty of teaching moments, and the
familiarity makes it a quick fit for beginning bands.

Invasion of the Slimy, Five Headed,
Slow Mo Monsters from Outer Space—
Dan Adams.
Can your band save the world from
these eerie invaders from somewhere in outer
space? Using only seven notes, some humorous
vocal effects, and an easy way to learn about
dynamic contrast, this is the perfect selection for a
first concert.

l
Lights of the Unknown—Quincy Hilliard.
Silver Cliff Cemetery's ghost lights, as they are
called, were first reported around 1890. These
floating lights of various colors are reportedly
best seen on a dark, overcast night as they dance
around. This musical depiction re-creates this
mysterious and fascinating phenomenon through
creative sound effects and instrumental colors.
Programmatic and rife with special effects, it's a
concert number that audiences won't soon forget.

March of the Robot Brigade—Chris Bernotas.
Here they come marching in... it's the robot brigade!
This is a dramatic piece for beginning band that
uses only the first six notes students learn. It also
contains many meaningful teaching moments that
they're sure to benefit from. The low brass and
low winds play a prominent role, keeping everyone
active and involved.

Ogopogo—Grant Michel. Named for a
mysterious aquatic monster said to live in a lake
in British Columbia, this piece reflects the aura of
mystery that surrounds the legend. The intriguing
melody that's shared by all creates a shadowy
image of an indistinct shape gliding through the dark
waters, just beyond the range of sight. The addition
of alternating wind and percussion figures adds to
its menacing nature, like the stories passed down
for generations. An intriguing piece that will delight
beginning students.

Pentagram—Michael Story. A pentagram is a
five-sided star believed to be a symbol containing
supernatural or spiritual properties. This piece
isn't supernatural, but it is super-effective as
a tremendous musical work that introduces or
reinforces 5/4 time. Cast in a bold overture style,
students are able to easily grasp the time signature
with the memorable melodies. The variety of styles
and textures of this dynamic composition builds to a
bold punctuated conclusion.

4 Phantasm—Sean O'Loughlin. When you listen
to this piece you won't believe the grade level
because it sounds so mature and exciting. When
you look at the score you'll see that this sweeping
and sophisticated work contains only whole, half
and quarter notes in the winds and is less than an
octave in range. A masterful work that will sound
great for any level group.

Predators of the Deep—Edward Kennedy.
Prepare yourself for a thrilling journey into the inky
dark depths of the sea. As you descend deeper into
the darkness you sense the presence of something
lurking just out of sight, seeking its next prey.
Exciting and programmatic, the music will captivate
the imagination, making a thrilling and suspenseful
addition to your next concert.

Shadow Waltzes—Brian Balmages.
Drawing on the contrast of darkness against light,
this innovative work is menacing at times, seemingly
innocent at others, and nearly out of control at its
most volatile moments. A static rhythmic pulse
forms the backdrop for the entire piece as shadows
seem to move throughout darkness in a playful yet
deceitful way. An invigorating and unique work!

Skulduggery—Gene Milford.
"Skulduggery" means underhanded, unscrupulous
behavior or trickery, and that's exactly what this
piece expresses musically. It contains musical twists
and turns that will be intriguing for performers and
audience alike. Energetic in nature, young bands will
love it - they'll improve their chromatic scales while
having some fun!

Spellbound—Jack Wilds. This enchanting, off-
kilter waltz depicts shifting scenes at a magical ball.
The work draws the audience in with a soft timpani
roll at the beginning and builds momentum all the
way to the conclusion. Musical lines dazzle and swirl
about in this incredible salute to magic and mystery!

Suite from "Symphonie Fantastique"—
Hector Berlioz/arr. Michael Story.
Three movements from Berlioz's masterpiece,
A Ball; March to the Scaffold and A Witches'
Sabbath, are presented in this stellar transcription
for concert band. The original is revered as one
of the most vivid program pieces in classical
music, and it remains one of the most popular
works of the Romantic period. Carefully scored
for the contemporary concert band, this setting
provides an important addition to serious
programming repertoire.

Transylvanian Lullaby—
arr. Douglas E. Wagner.
What a great way to pay
tribute to the genius of Mel Brooks and feature your
trumpet soloist! As haunting as it is musical, it's ideal
for Halloween concerts but can be programmed
anytime throughout the year.

Zombie Raiders—Gavin Lendt. This vividly
imaginative work transcends the zombie genre.
Extremely well-written, it can be used as a serious
concert/festival work. Or, emphasize the horror
elements and encourage your students to dream
up fun visual ways to help bring the music to life.
Either way, your students will really enjoy this rowdy
zombie music!
