Circus Festival March (Grade 2.5) is a great opener for your concert, a good challenge for your advanced middle school/jr. high group and an excellent addition to your young high school band repertoire. This march will work on your students’ technical skills and train their ears to listen, blend and balance while having fun playing. An even level of technical requirements combined with playability will push students playing this piece to become better musicians.
Basic ranges for grade 2 music remain in place except for clarinets (2nd Clarinet crosses the break once). 2nd Alto Sax has a C to D trill in measure 15 and all saxes must travel up to high C (so a firm embouchure and good air support is a must). Playable with smaller instrumentation. Enjoy!
