General Comments:	This piece is a hard grade 1, but not quite a grade 2 and would challenge a beginning band. This piece of music will give your students an idea of what music might have been like in 1492 when Columbus sailed to America. The piece has a sea shanty feel while mixing it with songs of the time. It also introduces your students to 6/8 time and will expand your students' musical capabilities.
