My students are enjoying this piece!

A great little number, very playable with some challenging passages. An enjoyable piece and good introduction to Mozart for band students (with a hint of Beethoven).

Simple up-beat duet that teaches students to subdivide and use staccato tonguing. My 5th grade band students really like it!

I have taught this song to bands in three different schools I have taught in. Each group loved the piece, and so did the audiences!

What a fun piece for my beginning band!

Great-sounding piece for my young band. Challenging, but not too difficult. Sounds like a much more complex piece.

So far, so good. The sequence is matching all that I taught in the fall semester, since I only bought it at Christmas. Really is engaging the kids!

I'm using it for my 1st year 5th graders. It stays within five notes. Independent low brass line for counting basic quarters and half notes. Students like it. Accessible percussion rhythms. As title suggests , reinforces quarter rests.

One of the most appreciated title during our pre-summer exhibition!

It sounds like Final Fantasy battle music.

I work with a homeschool band and we don’t always have standard instrumentation in our groups. This selection is a fun piece that is a great representation of a march/galop (a.k.a. Circus march). It works at a slower tempo, but is especially fun at a bright tempo mm=132) Written in 2/4, it provides easier reading for students who may struggle with cut-time. The arrangement is adaptable for flexible instrumentation, but provides full voicing/ harmonies, melody lines, dynamics and figurations that provide teaching points for technique and performance of the march style. We are enjoying learning it for our Spring Concert.

Our advanced band is playing this (7th and 8th graders) for our spring concert while our K-4 kids sing. Perfect arrangement. Thank you!

Really nice chart, great lines and a great melody. There is a written solo that works as-is or as a jump off point for a younger soloist.

This is an exciting piece with interesting parts throughout the band. A slow middle section features some woodwind solos, followed by a dramatic ending! Fun and challenging yet manageable for an intermediate HS Band or upper level Middle School group. Doubled parts allow for retaining a solid sound with limited instrumentation.

I purchased Desert Wind. The song is very level appropriate. My 8th grade band is really looking forward to getting to work. It is in a similar style to Morning Sun, which was a previous 8th grade bands favorite song.
