Class 1 Easier Perc Ens

Posted by 2A Bumpkin on 11/30/2022, 2:16 pm

Any ideas of class 1 percussion ensembles that are playable? Young players that are competent but not studs (and studettes) yet. Needs to be 4-6 players.

Bread & Butter by Andy Smith
Quartet

It uses 5 gallon, drums, and lots of cymbals and the players all share equipment. It's very drummy and lots of fun and has the added benefit of being kind of hard to follow on a score. My students played a little outside of their reading level because they were motivated by how much they liked the piece.

Overture in Percussion by Cirone

For 5 players

Very achievable
