Cuckoo for Quarter Notes

A pun on the familiar phrase "Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs," this light piece written for first-year band students is obviously full of quarter notes and features the familiar call of a cuckoo bird as the melody. Percussion interludes are included to give young wind players an opportunity to rest while also giving percussionists some time in the spotlight.
