Outstanding concert or contest piece for mid-level bands depicting the story of runaway slaves making their way north via the Underground Railroad using a lantern in the window as their guide to safe houses along the way. Very dramatic and provides many opportunities for independent and expressive playing by your mid-level students. Much more sophisticated that is usual at this grade level.

A wonderful way to encourage and challenge your best young players is by featuring them on a solo with band accompaniment. Larry Neeck’s Solo Flight is a delightful solo feature for virtually almost any instrument in the band (Bb, Eb, C & Bass Clef Solo Parts are included with the set). Light in nature, it will be a welcome addition to any concert. Playable and enjoyable, this piece can pay big dividends to your band program! Recorded on the CD A Lantern In The Window by The Washington Winds.

A spirited overture for young bands which is full of exciting rhythms and bold, contemporary harmonies. Has a lovely andante section in 3/4 that first features alto sax and then the whole ensemble. Very playable yet still challenging for middle school and jr. high bands and it’s perfect for contest or concert performances. A truly outstanding piece for developing bands! Recorded on the CD A Lantern In The Window by The Washington Winds.
