Aardvark Parade - Graydon A. Toms

You can almost smell the aardvarks! Oh, no, wait. The kids had P.E. just before band rehearsal. Never mind.Seriously though, this cheerful and engaging new piece by Graydon Toms is a sure winner for every Grade 1 1/2 band. Big areas of contrast between the upper Woodwinds and the Brass and Saxophone combination ensure that each player feels important to the group, while an easy change of tempo near the end helps the piece sound harder than it plays.Whimsical!

Abaco Beach Vacation - Mike Hannickel

Sometimes though, it's hard to find performance literature that lets us continue teaching the basics while we prepare the beginning band for a concert. We need easy performance music that helps make basic techniques come alive for the students. Composed by a full-time "young band" director, Abaco Beach Vacation is designed to do just that. There are a lot of great suggestions included in the "Notes to the Director," which will help get them playing the way you'd like them to.Let them have fun while they learn!
