Boxall-Unsquare Dance P SP

This is an up-tempo quartet, scored for four drums (graduated in pitch), as well as cowbell, temple block, ride cymbal and tambourine. Each of the players move back and forth between their drum and auxiliary instrument (all mounted on stands) throughout the brief piece and utilize foot stamps and stick clicks as well. A lot of dynamic contrast is called for in this brisk 6/8 romp!  jr. high/college.
