The Shadow Of Your Smile - Johnny Mandel

The Shadow Warriors - David Gorham

First-year players will love performing this bold and heroic work at their first concert. Using the first few notes in most beginning band methods, this will be easy to prepare and a pleasure to perform. Make no mistake, this is not your average beginning band piece. Active percussion parts complement the winds parts which use simple quarter-note rhythms with full, dramatic effect! Very powerful!

The Shady Grove - Travis J. Weller

Shady Grove is a folk song that began to be heard in the southern Appalachians around the time of the Civil War. The memorable melody has a distinctively haunting quality that one cant help but be affected by. Many different lyrics exist for the song (some estimate it could be as many as 250), but the central themes are that of longing, love, and friendship. The use of washboard and spoons at one point brings this catchy bluegrass tune to life, helping us connect to this delightful American folk song.
