First Measures Series
This explosive fanfare will start your concert off with a bang while using only six notes in all wind instruments! Written to harness the full sound potential of your youngest musicians, the powerful themes will make a dramatic impact on your audience while the soaring countermelodies will exude nothing but confidence from your ensemble. Easy music with an enormous sound!
Performed by The Washington Winds. Recording and score and parts are available through The FJH Music Company
Ahh my first ever band piece I did in 5th grade. The beginning of a great percussionist.
Today was my first time learning this for our spring concert… I’ll keep u guys updated! I’m a 6th grade percussionist btw :)
Update 1: Week 2
We’ve started practicing, but we don’t have our parts yet. I’ve learned the marimba part, the triangle part, the chimes part, and the snare drum part. Our concert is in April, and it’s February right now. If I remember, I’ll update you guys next Thursday!
Update 2: Weeks 2&3
It’s March now. I play the snare drum, which is the part I wanted! I still have no idea when our concert is other than that it’s next month. I think I have the hang of it. Cya next time :)
Edit 4:
The concert is April 21st! I’m pretty excited! We’re progressing a lot. Our only problem is that we haven’t met up with the woodwinds yet, just brass + percussion (me)
I’ll update concert day!
Edit: It’s been a week since the concert! Here’s the link to our song (I’m the snare drummer, next to the bass drum): czcams.com/video/TAxr_5nwe40/video.html
Update 5: it’s been a while, but I’m in 7th grade now, (December 22 as im writing this) and I just remembered about this comment. We’re doing a winter concert in a few days, I’ll keep you guys updated if I remember
Update 6: It’s been like 2-3 months, and I totally forgot to write, but it went good! We’re doing a concert on March 8th. One of our songs is four and a half minutes long! I’ll try to update, but I’ll probably forget.
Update 7: Concert went well! I have another on on the 17th, i think. One of the songs is like 200 bpm though, it’s so hard 😭 but hearing starsplitter is giving me nostalgia even though it was only like a year ago lmao
Update 8: completely forgot to update but it went well! it’s may third rn. we have an all school festival on the ninth where we get to play with high schoolers and another middle school!
Update 9: it’s been 4 months lol. i forgot to update. the concert went well from what i remember!! im an eighth grader, and we had a concert a couple days ago and we got to play with the high school! it was super fun, the high school percussionists was super cool! we just got our first piece of music for our winter concert in december, ill try updating but I keep forgetting and im afraid each update may be my last 😭 but ill try to remember lol
Update 10: winter concert is getting closer!! we’re doing 4 pieces and we’re doing really good. this update is gonna be kinda short bc nothing has really happened, but i hope to keep updating. see you guys later!!
Update 11: so i kinda forgot about you guys for like 6 months!! my bad!! the winter concert was GREAT, had some of my favorite pieces i’ve ever played. i’ve done two concerts since then, and they were both wonderful. i leave middle school in 3 days, and im really going to miss band. we were taking a trip down memory lane the other day and playing songs from our 6th and 7th grade year, and when we did starsplittle fanfare i remembered to come back here. i go to high school soon, and they have a band, but it’s an extracurricular so i only get to go to band once or twice a week. i’m probably going to miss band more than anything, especially my percussionist friends that are going to a different school. i want to thank everyone for following me on my journey through middle school band and i want to wish any other middle school band students luck, because it’s a lot of fun. since im going to high school soon, i probably won’t update anymore. so thanks for reading, guys, and goodbye!!
Same! good luck

We’re playing this in band and it sounds really cool and I like how you can actually hear the flutes
I love the flites.
There are only 5 flutes in my band
Every time I do this I play high but so loud that you can't hear the woodwinds 😂 (Percussion always gets so loud when they aren't supposed to and you can barely hear yourself play)
True
Even though y'all are I the back, and they're in the front.
yes
Why play high whenever the brass or the backroom play loud they get in trouble I’m a flute player and can barely hear myself play
@AD_-zs4zc that's when the band teacher has to get on whoever is getting loud. Tbh, the person on drumpad in our class is kinda dog water and plays offbeat and really quiet
Scared to play this at a concert tomorrow i really helped me see how cool it is ( I play Flute part)
