So I'm looking for a piece that is similar to Moscow, 1941. I like Moscow for the many different textures, exposed sections, and stylistic things I can use for teaching (plus great percussion). Obviously, kids love that piece and I know they would be challenged/would want to work hard on it. Is there something out there that kids like and would teach the same skills?

My conundrum:
1. I'm already playing "Balalaika!" so I wouldn't want two 'Russian' pieces for general programing purposes and other reasons.
2. I've looked at "Kyiv, 2022" and it doesn't really check all the boxes for me.

My brass is generally stronger than woodwinds but no sections that really hold us back too much. Strong low reeds and Tuba, good Horns, Trumpets with range, and 6 capable percussionists.
