Band

Kids love to rock and roll! Hit'em where they live with Carmine Pastore's lively new young band power house, Rockadelic! This will be a great contrast to that overture or march you've programmed for your next concert, and the band will LOVE it! A few well chosen accidentals add spice to the mix and help but don't overwhelm the group with too many new notes at one time. Irresistible!

Follow the historic Rogue River from its headwaters in Oregon to the mighty Pacific! The serenity of the mountain snowmelt gives way to energetic rapids and then to the greater expanse and power of the lower river. This work has lots of potential for co-curricular study with history and geography. It will be a nice accessible challenge for the maturing young band, rewarding each section with integral and expressive parts to play. (Grade 2-1/2)

The perfect arrangement for your Beginning Band's first patriotic performance! There are lots of opportunities for young players to solidify basic skills here. A few easy accidentals, articulations, dynamics and phrasing can all be taught while rehearsing Sea To Shining Sea. There are many more uses for this arrangement than the typical concert setting, too. Does your student body meet at the flag pole on Monday mornings for a flag salute? Play it there. How about a short performance at a school board meeting? The possibilities are endless! Dont miss it!
