Description
This version of Rampage! arranged by Todd Stalter is part of our Alfred FLEX offerings and is designed with maximum flexibility for use by any mix of instruments---wind, strings, and percussion, including like- or mixed-ensembles with as few as 5 players. The suggested instrumentation and a customizable Teacher Map will help you plan out how to best assign parts to suit your ensemble's needs. It also comes with supplemental parts for maximum flexibility. With the purchase of this piece, permission is granted to photocopy the parts as needed for your ensemble. A percussion accompaniment track is also available as a free download. String parts have been carefully edited with extra fingerings and appropriate bowings to support students in mixed ensembles playing in less familiar keys.

Rampage! is a relentless, aggressive work, in FLEX format, that requires wind players and percussionists alike to play with both a great deal of force and finesse. Strong statements in the brass, the interwoven woodwind parts, and a contrasting introspective section provide numerous opportunities for expression and nuance. (3:30)

More about this title

About the Composer: Todd Stalter

Todd Stalter

Todd Stalter spent 34 years as Director of Bands at Eureka High School in Illinois, building a program that earned 16 Class 1A state marching championships and consistently superior concert ratings. His ensembles performed at Orchestra Hall in Chicago, Walt Disney World, and multiple state tournament finals, establishing him as a fixture in Illinois music education and earning him a place in the State Marching Band Championships Hall of Fame.

Beyond his classroom work, Stalter has guest conducted All-State ensembles in Georgia and Delaware, adjudicated extensively at state and regional levels, and presented at major music educator conferences on pedagogy and composition. His published works for band and string orchestra circulate widely in schools across the country and appear in the GIA series Teaching Music Through Performance in Band. He holds degrees from Illinois State University in music education and trumpet performance, studying conducting with Stephen K. Steele and trumpet with members of the President's Own Marine Band.

Why we love this

Stalter has crafted a piece that demands both power and control from every section, creating rewarding ensemble moments without sacrificing individual voices. The flexibility to configure parts for whatever instruments walk into your room is a genuine time-saver, yet the writing itself never feels compromised; interwoven woodwind lines and strong brass statements give the arrangement real character. That quieter introspective section offers students a chance to breathe and develop expression before the piece surges forward again.

What to expect

Rampage! delivers unrelenting forward momentum and aggression grounded in strong brass declarations and interwoven woodwind textures. A contrasting moment of introspection allows the ensemble to explore nuance and softer expression before the piece surges back to its driving, forceful character.

Who it's for

Bands with mixed instrumentation, small ensembles of five or more players, and directors who need flexibility without compromising musical substance. String players learning wind band idioms will find carefully edited parts with fingerings and bowings that support them in less familiar keys.

How to get the most out of it

  • Map your instrumentation early using the provided Teacher Map so players know their parts well before the first rehearsal.
  • Balance the brass statements with the woodwind counterlines; neither should disappear, even when textures feel densest.
  • Lean into the contrasting introspective section to give the ensemble variety in tone and intensity, then rebuild momentum into the final aggressive push.
  • Download both the click and non-click percussion accompaniment tracks to find which works better for your rehearsal tempo and student comfort level.

How to use it

Pair this with lighter or more lyrical works on a concert to showcase your ensemble's range and dramatic capability. Its three-and-a-half-minute length makes it ideal for festival programming or as a memorable opener that commands attention immediately.

Skills your students will build

  • Aggressive articulation and dynamic control across contrasting sections
  • Ensemble balance when managing mixed wind, string, and percussion instrumentation
  • Expression in lyrical passages following aggressive material
  • Rhythmic precision within relentless, driving contexts
  • Part independence while tracking interwoven woodwind lines
