The Story:

How did a T-Rex get in here? I don't know, man...I just work here.

Somehow there's a T-Rex in this fine china shop.

Students can perform a DINO-ROAR by using a fluttertongue (or trill/growl) effect while panning their instruments from stage right to stage left!

This piece also features lots of percussion to get the explosive sound of a rampaging dinosaur among collections of fine china.

There is also an optional mallet solo, when the T-Rex hears a "music box" in the store.

Looking for opportunities to get your students to sing? Then this is a piece for you!

"Mutiny on the Dutchman" features an original sea shanty sung by all of your musicians as an ominous intro. As the mutiny occurs, students will create an un-pitched ghostly wail before delivering a massive instrumental jump scare when the captain is betrayed.

There are also lots of cool percussion effects like ocean drums, rain sticks, thunder sheets, and cymbal shriek to create the spooky effect of a ghost ship at sea.

Here's the story:

"Mutiny on the Dutchman" tells the story of the Flying Dutchman, a ghost ship cursed to never make port and manned by a crew of undead souls. There are various origin stories as to how the Flying Dutchman was cursed, and this piece features a hypothetical backstory to the legendary ship.

The Flying Dutchman, the fastest ship on the sea, is traveling home. At least, that's what her captain thinks. The first mate is secretly steering the ship away from port and conspiring with the crew. They plan to mutiny against the captain and steal the vessel in open water.

In the dark of night, the crew surprise the sleeping captain and throw him overboard into the sea. As they celebrate their twisted achievement, a ghostly fog envelops the ship. The cruelty of their betrayal has brought on an awful curse.

The Flying Dutchman will never make port again, and not even death will separate the mutinous crew from their prized vessel.
