About This Collection
Description
ColorFLEX is a collection of concert band arrangements built on flexible instrumentation, making them practical for ensembles with shifting rosters or unusual instrumentation needs. The titles span programmatic work, holiday pops, and light concert fare, with most pieces in the Grade 2 to 3 range. Popular entries include Tripwire by JaRod Hall, Moscow, 1941 by Brian Balmages, and You Better Sleigh! also by Hall. These scores work well for festival and contest settings, and many appear on the Texas UIL Prescribed List.
Highlights
Teachers keep coming back to Tripwire by JaRod Hall for its accessibility at Grade 2 combined with engaging programmatic content. Moscow, 1941 by Brian Balmages has become a favorite for Grade 3 groups seeking concert material with substance. You Better Sleigh! by Hall rounds out the seasonal needs, while One Final Mission by Adrian B. Sims offers a substantial Grade 2 option that doesn't talk down to younger ensembles.
