text for the marching percussion ensemble, but is also an invaluable tool for the concert
band program. It has my highest endorsement."

"Mike Lynch and Scott Brown have a great history of success with the 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."

your award-winning philosophies and methods with us!"
