The Work(s): Three works for concert band will be created at three differing grade levels (.5-1, 1.5-2, and 2.5-3) appropriate for performance by middle school varsity, non-varsity, and sub-non varsity or beginning bands. The works will be thematically related, but otherwise independent works. The idea is to provide the same experience of performing a new work, and interacting with the composer, to all levels of performer regardless of ability.
