Cure the problem of bored drummers in your beginning band with this incredible set of 14 entertaining percussion ensemble arrangements for young percussionists. Playable with one person on a part or may be used with as many drummers and mallet/keyboard players on each part as you wish. Clever arrangements that require drummers to read rhythms independently while having a great time! Flexible instrumentation uses percussion instruments found in any beginning band room plus non-traditional instruments such as cardboard boxes, trash cans, metal pans, etc. The perfect change of pace pieces that will show off your drummers and also give your horn players a little break in the middle of your next first year band concert. A GREAT TEACHING TOOL!
