This new contemporary work was premiered at the 2002 Midwest Clinic and is an excellent way to make use of all your percussionists. After an eerie introduction, a haunting melody is presented that continues throughout. This is definitely a unique and refreshing style which is very welcome at this grade level. Strongly consider this work from Texas composer and middle school band director, Jason Nitsch.

American Prelude was commissioned by the United States Marine Band “The President's Own” and was composed in honor of the retirement of Colonel Jason K. Fettig, the 28th Director of the USMB. This short and energetic work features subtle hints to two of my favorite American composers, Aaron Copland and John Williams.
