Stampede! is an original composition that was premiered at Bass Performance Hall by the 2024 Performing Arts Fort Worth percussion camp. The tune includes some familiar melodies that both the performers and audience will recognize!
​
Stampede! is an intermediate level composition with 3 levels of battery parts to facilitate a large group with varying abilities and age levels. The keyboard parts are also written to varying degrees of difficulty, and all 3 marimba parts can fit on one 4.5 octave instrument. To facilitate beginner level players, an additional and optional keyboard part was written and the marimba 3 part (which is written is bass clef), also comes with an optional treble clef part to facilitate players who are not comfortable reading bass clef. Optional drumset, synthesizer, and percussion parts are also available. A pad part is also included to incorporate beginners, making this an inclusive option for a program-wide performance.

Saddle up your horse, hit the trail, and enjoy this Western-inspired tune!
