The precise imprecision comes to life as students are askedto intentionally play wrong notes in various parts of the march. After performing this work, you and your students will never look at perfection the same way again! Free interdisciplinary curriculum for the piece is available fordownload at www.BandQuest.org. BandQuest, an exciting series of new music and accompanying curricula for band, is aprogram published by the American Composers Forum.

Many BandQuest pieces are accompanied by an interdisciplinary curriculum designed to assist students as they learn the music and to integrate each piece withnon-music studies.
