Level 6 Sight Reading Percussion...

Posted by HSBD on 3/23/2023, 11:03 am

... has NINE percussion parts, including 3 mallet parts (xylophone, bells, chimes) and 3 aux parts (crash, woodblock, sus cym).

For anyone that's familiar with the piece: Do I need 9 percussionists? Do any mallet or aux parts overlap?

it is important that every kid be involved in sightreading. In the past there have not been enough parts to engage all of the percussionists in many of the bands. This is unacceptable in my opinion so this is a great change.

If you only have 5 players, you will just cover 5 of the parts (Snare, bass, timp, mallets, crash cymbs..)

The mallet part can be covered by one person or it can be shared by two or three.
