Ballet of the Dinosaur Hatchlings is a descriptive novelty selection for a beginning band with less than one year of instruction. Wind parts use only five pitches. Only percussion parts use eighth notes. Two sound effects are required. First, the hatching eggs are portrayed by the ratchet beginning at m. 2, and second, the snapping dinosaurs jaws, which are first heard at m. 14, are represented by an accented note augmented by a slapstick.
