To receive an honors grade in my symphonic band class I must perform some music to a group of judges (teachers) and if they hear that I play well enough I get an H. However, I have no idea what music I should play.

Here are the guide lines:
- You must perform 3 contrasting pieces
- The composers of the 3 pieces should be somewhat famous (not obscure people) and should be from contrasting time periods
-At least on the pieces should have contrasting movements (like the solos in the Arbans book)
-Each piece should be around 2 minutes long, maybe one that is a little longer
-Their is no accompaniment, just me. I am not 100 % sure how this will work with having rests (I think you skip them...) <-- I'll find out and update


I am a sophomore in high school and (I don't want to brag but...) I have pretty good skills.


Thank You very much

Plan A
2nd movement Haydn,
Clarke: Sounds of the Hudson
Fisher Tull: 8 profiles for trumpet (pick the one that matches your skills best)!

Plan B
Purcell: Trumpet Voluntary or Trumpet Tune
2nd Movement Hummel
Vizzutti Cascades

This is all playable stuff where you need decent technique, but can show musicianship as well!

For something baroque, look for anything edited by Bernard Fitzgerald. I too like the Haydn II as a slow piece from the classical period, and
Goedicke's Concert Etude is a nice, fast "show-off" tune from the 20th century.
