Rite of Passage - Brian Balmages
A beginning band piece limited to a 6-note range, Rite of Passage will have your band playing together in very little time. Utilizing smaller chamber sections as well as the full band, this is an excellent teaching piece. With no clarinets over the break and no trumpets higher than a written A, this is a very easy Grade 1 concert march.

Smithsonian Suite - Brian Balmages
This 4-movement multicultural suite provides a wealth of teaching and performance opportunities, especially at the beginning level.

In addition to cross-curriculum teaching, the opening theme is slightly altered in each movement, teaching the concept of variations. Strongly consider this new work.

Sound Prisms - Brian Balmages
