The Wagon Girl

On a sunny summer day, a young girl loads up her wagon with all her favorite toys and dolls and sets out for a trip around the neighborhood. This playful piece takes us through her journey! Listen for the sounds of all of the little obstacles she encounters along the way: bumps in the sidewalk (grace notes, flams), up and down the ramps (glissando), tiredly climbing the hills and racing down the other side (ritardando and accelerando), and when she gets to that corner by the busy street, watch out for traffic! Optional divisi in parts give the conductor flexibility to accommodate a variety of skill levels or create harmonies as desired. Enjoy as a fun piece for any young band concert!
