highest endorsement."

percussion programs that they have instructed. Their experience and
success form the foundation to this exceptional publication. This text
is so comprehensive that I believe every band director and percussion
instructor could benefit from having it!"

"Field Level is a must for any band director or percussion student.
Mike Lynch and Scott Brown have put together a comprehensive and
informative book that will assist the band director or percussion
instructor in developing their own marching percussion program. The
exercises are an excellent tool to help build facility and technique.
The cadences and stand tunes are just plain fun and a tremendous bonus
to this book. Now everyone can get a glimpse into one of the most
successful high school percussion programs around. I would highly
recommend this book to anyone interested in building a great marching
percussion section."

today's percussion educators--no percussion methods class should be

instructor or staff--congratulations, and thank you for sharing your
award-winning philosophies and methods with us!"
