Program Notes

Kids want to have fun, learn to play their instrument and be the star. Not surprisingly, beginning band parents want those very same things for their kids. Now all your students can be stars. Each section gets to stand up and play a one-measure feature at various times throughout the tune. A fun and entertaining snack.
