Program Notes
The dragon dance is a popular event in traditional Chinese culture, especially during Chinese New Year celebrations. Originating during the Han Dynasty, the dance is carried out by a team of performers that carry the dragon on poles.
- Program Note from Heritage Encyclopedia of Band Music
Beginning bands can now display the fascinating color and exuberance of this traditional Chinese celebration. Using the first six notes found in most beginning methods, beginning wind players can perform with confidence, and the percussion section can play this lively re-creation of an important multicultural event.
