Product Description
Jolt by William Brenner - Grade 1/2.5/4 (see below)
For concert band __________________________________________________
We've been through strange times. We've been through many good and
bad emotions. We have been recieving news, some good, some upsetting.
Some days we are so happy, we want to jump everywhere and on others we want to bawl our eyes out. And that's how it is. Jolt plays through all of these emotions, the good and bad ones. It represent how sometimes, we are so happy about something, but it doesnt work out. It represents how sometimes, we hope for something that will never occur. It represents how sometimes in life, there are things that upset us. But in the end, we are stronger than those bad feelings. We are stronger than sadness, than the madness we sometimes feel dealing with those challenges. Sometimes we feel thrown around. At the end of the day, it will always get better. It will always work out.

*As you may have noticed, this piece is graded with three different levels.
Most instruments have two levels: beginner and advanced (grade 1 and 4),
but some of the most common instruments in a concert band
(flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet and percussion) have an
extra intermediate level (grade 2.5). This piece has been written for bands
or classes that have student of different levels, but still want to play together.
I hope that this project will be useful and will help keep students motivated to play music even though the situation is unusual.
Best regards,
