Tubular Patriotic Songs

By Ellen Foncannon

For all ages
40 pages
13 patriotic songs using Boomwhackers tuned percussion tubes. Options are also given for 5 medleys (CD tracks for the medleys are included). Each song includes Melody Plus (melody and harmony parts), EZ Harmony (easy chord-only arrangements), lyrics sheets, and historical facts. The songs are designed to let players of different ability levels play together. The entire book of pieces could be combined to make a 25-minute patriotic program; read the historical facts in between pieces for speaking parts. A "Do You Know" quiz sheet on the trivia facts is included; program suggestions are also given. The book pages are copy-permissible as needed for the purchaser's group. CD included.
