Performance Notes
Use larger marching sticks for the plastic buckets and thinner sticks for the metal pails. The buckets and pails are turned over, placed on the floor and struck on the bottom and sides. The players should be seated while playing on the buckets and pails, although some visual ideas may require standing. A bucket / pail toss is used as the visual in bar 78 but any type visual is welcome and will work here.
