Escapade! – Concert Band Grade 2.5

Escapade!, by Raymond Sifuentes, sets the scene for a classic spy thriller. Our favorite secret agent protagonist finds himself embarking on his biggest mission yet! The job is simple: get in, collect the intel, and escape without being caught. Characterized by a central theme that accompanies our main character, humorous chromatic motifs symbolic of his blunders, and alarm sounds representing triggered booby traps, Escapade! provides clear story-telling opportunities and teachable moments, including chromatics and enharmonic spellings. Will our protagonist successfully complete his mission? Or will the enemy bodyguards get to him first? (2:35)
