n Foundry—John Mackey. The first piece for band
at this grade level by this popular and most creative
composer. The concept of this fascinating work is
to introduce percussionists to the idea that there
are more imaginative ways to perform other than
with the traditional percussion instruments. Using
"found" percussion instruments in addition to
creative wind parts, the piece creates a life of its
own to the delight of musicians and audiences!

made thunder surrounding the audience.
