Difficulty Level: Medium, Grade 3/4

Style: Contemporary Symphonic Music with jazzy moments

Original Music Composed by Tim Hinton

Percussion Music by Clif Walker

(Originally commissioned by the Wade Hampton H.S. Band, Greenville, SC, Jeremy Ladd, Director)

The Front Page / The Comics / Sports Page / Entertainment Page

This show of original music has a fool-proof concept that audiences will love and understand.  The energetic opener has patriotic tendencies, followed by a visit to the funny pages for a light-hearted drum solo.  A salute to sports includes baseball, tennis, golf, and football, and then we finish with the glamour of Hollywood.  Great drum parts by Clif Walker available for this custom marching band arrangement, including a version for posted percussion section!

Fee for the use of the music for the season:

NOTE: There are TWO versions of Part Two “Comics.”  The one below includes the actual Peanuts melody which requires copyright permission to perform. I created a second version of this selection which is an original composition which mimics the Peanuts theme but is original.  Contact me (right sidebar) for more info.
