Randall Standridge brings humor and lighthearted charm to the beginning band stage with Jumping Joey’s (A Marsupial March). Set in 4/4 time and in B♭ major, this Grade .5 march introduces young players to traditional march style while helping them develop confidence with melodic leaps.
Trombone glissandi, slide whistles, and playful percussion writing add a sense of whimsy and fun, while melodic moments are shared throughout the ensemble to keep everyone engaged. An optional, easier snare drum part ensures accessibility for developing percussionists. Both educational and entertaining, Jumping Joeys is a delightful choice for concert or festival performance.
