For Standard Percussion or Orff Ensemble. Composed by Chris Roode. Percussion Ensembles. Folio & Parts on CD-ROM. Tapspace Publications #TSPCE19-018. Published by Tapspace Publications (TA.TSPCE19-018).

Sound Off! by Chris Roode is comprised of three short movements for percussion ensemble, each written in a militaristic style. The three movements are entitled Attention!, Sound Off!, and Salute! and each have their own unique musical qualities. In true militaristic form, performers are asked to shout vocal commands throughout the movements, making this an engaging piece for the performers and audience. To make the piece more accessible to more ensembles, the mallet percussion parts can be performed on Orff mallet instruments or on standard mallet percussion instruments.

This piece comes as a professionally printed and bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or for tablet viewing.

*If desired, one talented student may perform all three percussion parts on a standard drum kit using their hands on the snare drum and their feet on the kick drum and hi-hat.
