Brilliant Brass - Booklist
This entry in the Let’s Get Marching: Sections in a Band series (4 titles) is divided into two main parts: a general overview of being in a marching band and a breakdown of the brass section. The beginning and end of the book explore what a marching band is and what it does, from uniforms to performances, and mention the popularity of band camp among players. The middle introduces specific instruments in the brass section, from the trumpet to the sousaphone. Brief “Did You Know?” and “Fun Fact” features add details to the main text. With standard nonfiction elements (table of contents, index, etc.), online resources, and a guide for teachers and caregivers, both the format and the topic are well suited for educational settings.
