TromboneChat

My daughter and her high school classmates are interested in performing as an ensemble this year at contest.

• The playing ability of the group ranges from intermediate (one 9th grader) to advanced. There are 6 likely players, but they have said they will cut the 9th grader if the right music comes along.

• The lead player has good high chops. The bass bone has good low chops.

• They all play with good intonation and are aware of and try to use just intonation to tune chords.

• All of the kids like lyrical music.

Suggestions appreciated!

The highsclhool brass q I'm in is doing Vuelta del Fuego. It's a really awesome piece with some nice lyrical parts. Give it a listen.

Mixed brass ensemble or trombone ensemble?

Strictly trombone.

tbone quintet:
2 preludes - Chopin/Shiner (1st goes to high C)
New Rag - Joplin (tenor clef)
Chorale prelude #8 - Brahms/fote (high C)
Fantasia (hypodorian) - Stoltzer/Robert King

Thank you, @hyperbolica. The Fantasia is still in print. And, I found a recording of the OU trombone choir doing this one. It might work for the kids. I'll run that by them.
