Program Notes
Furious and fun! This energetic debut publication by Matt Conaway will challenge your developing band to play rapidly contrasting styles, articulations, and dynamics while facing their fear (or love!) of snakes. Exciting percussion parts, driving ostinato rhythms, and an unexpected ending will captivate your musicians and audiences.
Snakebite! was written for the 2006-2007 Happy Hollow Elementary School Intermediate Band, West Lafayette, Indiana.
