About This Collection
Description
This collection of 2,804 Grade 2 concert band titles gives you accessible, engaging music that works for students just beginning to develop as ensemble musicians. You'll find everything from popular arrangements like Arabian Dances by Roland Barrett and The Great Locomotive Chase by Robert W. Smith to programmatic pieces, holiday specials, and pop transcriptions. The repertoire leans heavily toward concert and contest literature, with strong representation across pop, programmatic, and multicultural styles. Most titles fit squarely into Grade 2 and Grade 2.5, with many split between easy and medium-easy difficulty levels.
Highlights
Teachers return to Arabian Dances by Roland Barrett and The Great Locomotive Chase by Robert W. Smith as reliable, student-friendly openers and concert staples. Tripwire by JaRod Hall and Metal Bell Carol by Brian Balmages round out the perennial favorites, offering rhythmic drive and melodic interest without overcomplicating the ensemble's technical demands.
Recently added
Recent additions include Frosty the Snowman by Steve Nelson, Noche de Brujas by Michael Story, and Defying the Machine by Brian Balmages, all published in June 2026. JaRod Hall contributed two new works: Foothill March and At Fate's Door.
Composer & Author Spotlight
Michael Story is one of the most prolific composers writing for young bands, with 284 titles in this catalog. His Sleigh Ride arrangement consistently draws interest from teachers building their holiday rotation. Story's gift for writing singable melodies and manageable textures makes his work accessible without sacrificing musical substance.
Robert W. Smith ranks among America's most performed concert band composers, with over 400 publications to his name. The Great Locomotive Chase stands as one of his most adopted Grade 2 works, combining narrative momentum with straightforward instrumentation that gives every section something meaningful to play. His background in both education and advanced composition training shapes his understanding of what young ensembles need.
Brian Balmages brings a distinctive voice to the Grade 2 repertoire, equally comfortable writing for orchestras, chamber groups, and bands. His Metal Bell Carol demonstrates his ear for accessible yet sophisticated harmonic writing. He's a recipient of the A. Austin Harding Award from the American School Band Directors Association, recognition of his contributions to school music education.
Robert Sheldon is among the most performed composers of wind band music today and a lead author of Sound Innovations for Concert Band. His Appalachian Morning exemplifies his approach: music that resonates with both student musicians and audiences while maintaining high artistic standards. His compositions appear regularly on international concert and contest programs.
