The Carousel March

This piece begins with a melody that imitates the up and down motion of a horse on a carousel, thus the title. It is basically a standard concert march with three main sections and an interlude. Each section has its own distinctive melody and character. Be warned though, that the piece contains many march-type cliches that add to the fun of playing it, and some 16th note runs for the piccolos, flutes and 1st clarinets that will test their mettle.
