Need a concert closer...quick

Posted by MS Director on 4/14/2026, 8:56 am

I need a good closer for our spring concert. It needs to be simple (grade 1, max), uptempo, and big sounding. I won't have much time to work it up (we still have six testing days between now and the concert). Any ideas are welcome (preferably "print on demand").

A Builder's Dream by Adrian Sims. It's quite the banger!

Easy grade 1 that kids want to learn and takes very little prep? Go with a classic:

The Tempest - Robert W. Smith

I second this. Ghost Ship could work as well as it's another piece kids will want to learn.
