Junior Band players in the spotlight with Little Shiny Brass

A new addition to the wonderful Little Shiny Brass series is 'Centre Stage — the perfect spotlight feature for young rising stars...

Big Shiny
  The new addition to the series is perfect for showcasing the talents of rising young stars

The newest addition to the Big Shiny Brass catalogue's fantastic 'Little Shiny Brass' series is called 'Centre Stage', and it's perfect for bands who have one or two star players who deserve some time in the spotlight!

Each of the six arrangements features a soloist, with pieces for cornet, trombone, horn and euphonium. There's a variety of styles too, with three slow melodies and three swing and jazz solos.

Flexible

The flexible band parts are kept nice and simple, so are ideal for players who've reached grade 2 to 3 standard, whilst the soloist parts are aimed at players who have achieved grades 4 or 5.
