Vanguard

Get your superstar bass section out of the back row and into the spotlight with Vanguard, an exciting section feature. They’ll get to showcase their skills with hooked bowings, dotted rhythms and exciting, driving melodies. Meanwhile, the rest of the orchestra gets to experience playing mixed C naturals and C sharps, counting challenging rhythms, and taking the spotlight with some fun melodies of their own. All students will love the fast cut-time tempo and dark E-minor tonality, but basses will especially appreciate this exciting chance to finally take center stage!
