Sycamore-Secure the Perimeter (SP)-B/opt. V/1-2M/P

Secure the Perimeter is perfect for the first-year percussion ensemble. Mallet parts stay within the C Major scale and rely mostly on stepwise motion to accommodate early pitched music reading, while the battery parts are well within the rhythm reading skills of first-year percussion students, and even allow for some simple multiple instrument changes.
