Eagle Lake March - Randy Navarre

This song is a great tool for introducing sixteenth notes. The sixteenth notes are group in twos or fours and the notes are repeated. There are no sixteenth note runs. Just tell the students to play four notes in one beat. It is easy, and they are not afraid of all the notes on the page. The harmonies are not typical beginning band. There is a flatted three chord giving the march an extra bit of spice. It is in ABA form and much of the sound of a more advanced march. Only the first clarinets play above the break. The first trumpet's highest note is C. This is the best selling march of Northeastern Music Publications.

Early One Morning - Steven Rosenhaus

Although the roots of this British folksong date back to the 18th century, the first publication of the melody was in the late 1850's in the collection "National English Airs". Early One Morning is the story of a young woman misused by her lover, as overheard by the singer. In the mid-1930's the tune was adapted as a military slow march called "The Globe and Laurel" for the Royal Marines band. This arrangement focuses on the lyricism of the original with just a hint of its later military associations. Only the 1st clarinets cross the break. 1st trumpet's highest note is F.
