==Description==<br />
Three Brothers by Michael Colgrass is a well-known and much-performed ensemble for nine percussionists, six of which play back-up to the three soloistic parts (the "Brothers"). This piece can be a successful tool to highlight three talented young players while keeping everybody else involved.<br />
<br />
The solo parts require moderate chops because of some speedy parts, but this piece is completely accessible by an established high school group.<br />
