ANDANTE & ALLEGRO Grade
1 1/2 composed by Brad Schoener
Written
for the Upper Darby Cultural Foundation’s Millennium Gala, this original work opens with a peaceful andante section
featuring beautiful solos for flute & alto sax. In the allegro portion the
percussion sets the stage for a bold opening by the trumpets. This piece is driven
by a simple rhythmic motif yet will challenge your percussionists.

BRAKE DRUM BLUES Grade

best drummer playing four differently pitched brake drums and can be played by concert or jazz band. It begins with a melodic
duet punctuated by soft ensemble hits that build to a shout chorus with room for written or improvised solos. Have a second
drummer play set or break it up for a section. A definite “smooth groove”.

LONDONDERRY
AIR
Grade 1 arr. by Brad Schoener
This
traditional tune is an excellent vehicle to teach legato articulation and phrasing to your beginning band. It begins with the upper woodwinds gradually breaking into harmony.
The middle section features a small solo group leading to a dramatic climax by the full ensemble contrasted with a
solo instrument (your choice of fl., cl., a. sax, or trpt).

answer with the Ninth Symphony and battle to the finish! Everyone wins with this
one! A must have for your band library! Click here for reviews!

STARS OVER AMERICA Grade
1 1/2 arranged by Brad Schoener
This well-crafted piece cleverly blends the Army, Navy,
Air Force, and Marine service hymns with “America the Beautiful”. It snaps back to attention with a trio from the
“Stars & Stripes Forever” featuring the piccolo solo in the key
of “F”. Optional string parts are available. Brilliant as a concert closer.

SUPERHERO STRUT
Grade 1 1/2 composed by Brad Schoener
The newest superheroes (your band) are in town -- antagonized by everyone’s archenemy -- the evil percussion
section! After powerful statements from both the winds and percussion, a heroic
theme ensues. The ‘heroine’ (clarinets) and ‘hero’ (trumpet
solo) are eventually confronted by the villainous percussion section. A wonderful
challenge for your drummers!
