Patriotic melodies such as America the Beautiful, Yankee Doodle, You're a Grand Old Flag and more are artfully intertwined in this exciting new opener by James L. Hosay. It's an outstanding addition to Grade 1 literature that will work in almost any concert situation. If your school does an occasional school-wide flag salute assembly, it would be great exposure for your band to open the ceremony with this creative arrangement. (Grade 1-1/2)
