Groundhog's Revenge: String Orchestra Conductor Score & Parts

Get ready for a bluegrass battle! You thought you got rid of that pesky groundhog, but he's back and tearin' things up again. It's upper strings against lower strings as everyone gets a turn playing fun and exciting themes. Using the G pentatonic scale, parts are easily approachable for all instruments. Use the included theme sheets to learn the more challenging parts as unison exercises to keep everyone involved and maximize instructional time. Even though all of the included themes don't show up in every part, when students know each other's parts they listen to each other better come together as a tighter group in the end. For some added flair directors can add some finger slides and talk about accent patterns for an authentic bluegrass style.
