| 44. DANCING THE SKIES |
| by Kevin Mixon |
 |
Grade: 1.5
Duration: 2:28
Key: Bb Major
Inspired by a poem written by an American serviceman during World War II, Dancing the Skies builds on the idea of soaring over the skies and the wonderment that comes from seeing the earth from above. A very solid new composition for contest/festival performance. |

| by Joseph Compello |
 |
Grade: 1.5
Duration: 2:07

Triumphant Trumpeteers is, as the title indicates, a trumpet section feature. It may be performed by the entire trumpet section or with three trumpet soloists. The character of the music is that of a regal, march-like processional. |

| 48. SUPREMACY |
| by Sean O'Loughlin |
 |
Grade: 1
Duration: 2:06
Key: C minor
Supremacy is an engaging work for the beginning concert band. The piece provides many important teaching opportunities to reinforce rhythm, counting, and dynamics in the students’ development. The rhythms in the wind parts are limited to quarter, half, and whole notes, and the music incorporates basic dissonance and resolution into the fabric of the piece. A perfect piece for the students' first experience performing at contest/festival. |

| 49. VALOR |
| by Larry Clark |
 |
Grade: 1
Duration: 1:57
Key: Bb Major, Eb Major
Easy, tuneful and standard in form, Valor has all of the makings of a new standard for very young bands to play as a warm-up march at contest/festival. The rhythmic values are limited, but the march contains the standard modulation at the Trio and is stylistically on par with some of the great American marches. |

| 50. AUNT RHODIE'S DIET |
| by Joseph Compello |
 |
Grade: 1
Duration: 12:32
Key: Bb Major
Aunt Rhodie's Diet is a sequel to the incredibly popular Aunt Rhodie's Appetite (BPS38). Both arrangements are novel settings in which a beginning band can perform the standard folk songs found in the first few pages of most band methods. Because they are so easy to play, these arrangements by themselves would not make much of a concert, even for a beginning group. However, when used as incidental music to the story, the songs become sufficiently interesting to the audience, without taxing the capabilities of students who have only been playing for about 10 to 12 weeks. |

| 52. ODE TO CHRISTMAS |
| arr. Bill Calhoun |
 |
Grade: 1
Duration: 1:45
Key: Bb Major
Ode to Christmas is a unique combination of holiday favorites with Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" from his Ninth Symphony. This clever arrangement by Bill Calhoun is perfect for the very first holiday concert. It can be performed by early players as there are limited note ranges and rhythms. A delightful choice for the beginning band. |
