1812 Overture (Highlights from)—arr. Robert Longfield. This perennial concert
favorite by Tchaikovsky has been expertly arranged for concert band by Robert Longfield.
It can stand alone as a grade 3 composition, or it can be performed in a mass band
setting by using the supplementary grade 1 and grade 2 sets of parts (sold separately).
Percussionists will have a "blast" emulating cannon sounds and church bells.

Bandorama—Larry Clark & Sandy Feldstein. In the very first performance of this
piece, the conductor performed with over 850 musicians! Talk about a "Band-o-rama!"
For years, directors have asked for pieces that can be performed with mass bands, whether
as a culminating number in a multi-school concert, or as a recruitment tool to keep younger
bandsmen motivated. In some instances, one school will have multiple bands, each at a
different ability level. This piece will meet the need if any of this sounds familiar to you.
The amazing aspect of this piece, is that the "sets" that encompass three levels of difficulty,
elementary, middle or junior high, and high school, work as an independent piece.
The music simply gets better as the groups are combined. What a great idea!

Ode to Joy—arr. Robert Longfield. The thrilling chorus from Beethoven's Symphony
No. 9 is skillfully arranged for mass band performances. Three levels of students, Grades

River Rendezvous (Multi-level Combined Bands)—Michael Sweeney.
While conceived as a work for multilevel band festivals, it also serves as a dynamic
standalone composition for Grade 3 bands. Representing moods and scenes of southern
Wisconsin, the two contrasting movements may be performed separately or together.
The primary themes in each movement are simple enough for beginning players and are
embellished and developed in the more advanced levels. A multifaceted extravaganza with
powerful programming possibilities.

Shorewood Overture—Michael Sweeney. Shorewood Overture is designed to be

by itself, along with sections when everyone plays together. In addition, the Level 3 parts
include cues, allowing the work to be performed by a single ensemble. This is ideal for
district-wide festivals!

Winged Victory (Beacons of Light)—Brian Balmages. This heroic sounding
composition begins with a soft chorale, then bursts into life with a theme based on The
Drunken Sailor. There are several performance possibilities with this piece. Your high
school band may play it as written, or the middle and/or elementary school bands may
join the older players in a combined presentation playing the supplemental parts, available
separately. A grand work!
