The Nutcracker Suite - CMP0414.00 | Partitions

Everyone loves the NUTCRACKER! The immense and unprecedented popularity of this ballet seems to be without limit. Now your Grade 1 band can experience the joy of playing the themes they know so well. This extremely flexible arrangement can be used in so many ways!! Play it all, or leave out selected movements. Use the optional "tag" ending, or skip it. Due to the flexibility of this arrangement, THE NUTCRACKER is great for programming early in the school year (while you're still discovering the capabilities of "this year's band"). Also, notice the "suggested changes" in the Notes to the Director, which make this arrangement more flexible yet! You just can't lose with Mike Hannickel's arrangement of Tchaikowky's NUTCRACKER SUITE.
