==Performance Notes==
 
===Minor Rock===
 
The snare drum, bass drum, and percussion parts are duplicating a drum set pattern. Keep the tempo moving and the beat steady. Letter A - The percussion parts should make sure to let the mallet parts be heard. The rim shot in measure 16 (and again in 28) of the snare part can be created either by hitting the drumhead and rim at the same time with one stick, or by putting the bead of one stick on the head at an angle and striking it with the other stick (known as a stick shot). Letter B - Percussion players should carefully count rests tomake sure all parts are played at the correct time.
 
===Rhino Rock===
 
The cymbal player should use a large crash-ride suspended cymbal. Use a drumstick (or sticks), and strike the cymbal halfway between the bell and the edge unless the part is marked "crash".  For the crash, strike the cymbal with the shoulder of the stick on the edge of the cymbal. Be sure to count rests throughout. Carefully following dynamic markings is also important as most sections have one player that is featured above the others. Letter E to the end should be one big crescendo that builds to a big finish.
 
===Rockin’ The House===
 
The snare drum, bass drum, and percussion parts should remember to keep a steady beat. The percussion part can mount both the tambourine and triangle if needed, but the best method would be to use a stand or trap table covered with a towel to set the instruments on when they are not being used.  Change them as quickly and quietly as possible. Letter A - Make sure the melody in the xylophone is a little louder than the accompaniment part in the bells. Letter C - The snare drum and bass drum should rock-out for four bars before bringing in the other players. Care should be taken in measure 31 not to rush beat 3.
