Countdown To Christmas - Anonymous

A fragment of "Winchester Chimes," 3 familiar Christmas songs ("Jolly Old St. Nicholas," "Good King Wenceslas," and "Jingle Bells)", all bound together by a ticking clock simulated by woodblocks, are the elements that make this witty piece a natural for the first holiday concert of a beginning band.

Courage - Harold Bennett

Courage March is one of the most popular of the Harold Bennett marches. It is now presented here in a flexible instrumentation edition for bands with instrumentation needs. Tuneful and very fun to play, Courage March will make every band sound their best, and is a good choice for a smaller group to use for contest warm-up. Check out the excerpted version of the recording to see how well the five-part scoring really works.

Courage (March) - Harold Bennett

In this easy arrangement by Larry Clark, Courage is a little gem in the repertoire that every young band deserves to have in its library. Highly recommended.

Courage of the Cossacks

Courage of the Cossacks is a refreshing march in the style of Russian folk music, offering a break from the standard American march style for festival performance. Composer Ed Kiefer has scored this piece to sound sonorous throughout while highlighting all sections of the band. Directors looking for a unique march need look no further.

Cove

An exciting young band piece that features interesting rhythms and percussion writing. Students get to work on eighth note interpretation and counting skills in a contemporary setting while also developing balance and rhythmic accuracy. An expansive percussion section uses a wide variety of instruments to establish a solid base upon which to build fundamental ensemble musical skills. Program this to achieve great success with your band!

Cradle of Liberty - Laurie Lafferty

Crooked-Toe Walks the Deck! - James Meredith

Crown and Scepter - Gregory Rudgers

Crowns and scepters have been an essential part of the royal celebration since medieval times. This piece suggests the declaration of an opening ceremony with a bold militaristic fanfare, followed by a regal processional, reminding the listener of kings and queens receiving admiration from their people as they process on a stately occasion. Besides its potential as a piece for contest or festival performance, it will also work well for graduation ceremonies.

Cruisin' Bluesin'

Crystal Moon

If you need a piece to showcase your band, look no further. This galloping original work lets your band show off their articulation skills as it trots along in a playful way. Effective staccati and a bright tempo open into a glorious maestoso before bounding to the end.
