Tweet, Boom, Crash is a novelty piece featuring the playing of grace notes in the Flutes, Oboes, bells & percussion, plus clarinets and trumpets in one spot of their own. Because most of the grace notes are written as solos, and assuming that all solos are played at the correct time anf place, the audience should be very impressed with the maturity and accuracy of the band - otherwise unwanted solos may occur !!

WINDY WALTZ will introduce your young players to triple metre. Try playing it at different speeds to show how the waltz can be effective either fast or slow. You will no doubt find a speed which will feel right. You could also demonstate the use of “one in the bar" conducting.
The “Windy” of the title is shown partly by the chromaticism at letter A, and also by the crescendo - diminuendo effects at letter C.
The introduction is brief and accented. The melody appears firstly on Clarinets and Trumpet, then on Flute / Euphonium at letter B. Keep the staccato crotchets light and not too short - ask your players to think of a good value quaver. Leaning slightly on the first beat of each bar will help to give the feeling of pulse. Letter C will give good practice in controlling crescendos and diminuendos. A change of key at letter D brings back our first melody on Woodwind and Euphonium. The waltz ends with a brief Coda.
