March of the Morose Camels

March of the Morose Camels—Why morose? Wouldn’t you be?

Camels is a Grade 1 march written for young bands and portrays the
image of camels marching through the desert under a hot sun. It starts far
away. As they get closer and closer, the caravan gets louder and louder.
Those that have been around camels, know how loud they can get!

All wind parts are easily within a Grade 1 and playable by 1st-year players. Percussion is much busier (8 players) than some Grade I but it is easily playable. The timpani uses 3 pitches and there are no pitch changes.
