MusicWorks - Grade 1.5
The ancient city of Aztalan existed around a thousand years ago in southern Wisconsin, but disappeared mysteriously by around A.D. 1300. Through careful use of tone clusters, haunting melodies and creative percussion effects, this very easy work for band portrays a sense of mystery and drama.

[@kelbylesage537]

As a percussionist, there was a percussion part we got for one of our songs that was literally entirely just rests. They made music for an instrument that wasn't part of the song. It was hilarious.

[@splattim7554]

Learning how to play this on Luigi, my Clarinet! So excited!

[@romainetomatoes2416]

I played this when I was in band. What's even funnier is that I live in southern Wisconsin, and 1000 yrs ago, Aztalan was located about 30 miles southwest of where my home is today. I think its fate was probably a tornado, because that is the most common natural disaster in Wisconsin, from what I understand. (Wisconsin averages about 25 tornadoes a year.)

[@davidzhou8018]
