UIL Grade 4s

Posted by 3C BD on 1/3/2026, 12:29 pm

Looking to complete my UIL program! Every time I think I have the third piece picked, I see something that may not 100% work out for the band.

It's a great band, with killer low reeds & low brass. We've done Variations on a Korean Folksong, Shepherd's Hey, Green Bushes, & a few others in the past. Kids have really enjoyed those, and I'm hoping to find something that's fun for everyone.

Right now, looking at Concord or Metamorphic Dances (it's a 5 if we do all movements, but will likely do 3 of the 4). Let me know if you have any grade 4s that have fun stuff for all sections.

I adore Rikudim by Van Der Roost. It is a great mixed meter teaching piece. If you liked Green Bushes-Spoon River is equally as fun.
