Dragon Slayer by Rob Grice Band - Score and Sound

Using only six notes and note values no smaller than a quarter note, Rob Grice has managed to compose a piece that every beginning band student will want to play. Brake drum and gong contribute to the overall effect as your band embarks on its adventurous journey to a world where dragons roam free and no one is safe. Mild dissonance is approached very well - if you're looking to fire up your youngest players, this is your answer!
