£41.00Old St. Nicholas Had a Farm
Imagine if you could see the North Pole, where Santa keeps all of his reindeer. Someone, whether Santa himself or the elves in his employ, has to keep them fed, warm, and happy if they are to do the impossible again in a year's time. Old St. Nicholas Had a Farm has some fun with this idea by mashing up the classic song "Old MacDonald" with popular Christmas carols. Using only the first six notes of the Bb scale and only two repeated eighth notes as the most challenging rhythm, students will feel comfortable playing the sound of sleigh bells, the crack of Santa's whip, and the thunder of reindeer hoofs. This piece will make a perfect addition to your next holiday concert and audiences will delight in participating.

£45.00Eagle 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.

£53.00March of the Royals - Bill Calhoun
March of the Royals is a concert march for developing concert bands. Although familiar, with all the ingredients found in a typical march, this piece is written in a more regal and elegant style that is characteristic of English style marches. The piece is written for younger musicians but directors will find that it is carefully scored to help ensembles sound older than their years.
