Grade 1

This lighthearted piece is designed for first-year bands and is based on the familiar tune For He's a Jolly Good Fellow (also known as The Bear Went Over the Mountain). The march introduces students to basic music reading and should be performed in a march-like style with a tempo set by the conductor. It's an enjoyable, educational experience for beginners.
