== Performance Notes ==<br />
“Festivus” was written to be performed in a concert or festival setting. This ensemble relies heavily on the part of Player 1 (Timpani) as well as Player 4 (Snare Drum). These parts sustain the essential ongoing groove throughout most of the piece. Work for tightness in the Quarter/Dotted Eighth/Sixteenth rhythms that start between the [[Timpani]], [[Snare Drum]] & [[Bass Drum]] at Letter A. Make sure the [[Bass Drum]] & [[Snare Drum]] solos can be heard in bars 25-32. Keep the pulse consistent transferring to the 12/8 meter at Letter D and then back to 4/4 at Letter E. Be sure to make bar 49 a dynamic stepping-stone down to the lighter feel and softer dynamic at Letter D while treating Letter E as a loud four bar fanfare followed by the almost inaudible eighth-note [[timpani]] line at Letter F. Note all [[Crash Cymbal]] dampens (mutes) throughout the piece. This is essential and can be accomplished by simply pulling the plates in to the armpit area to stop the cymbal ring. The Snare drummer (Player 4) should have the [[Mark Tree]] set-up at elbow level and to the right of the [[Snare Drum]]. It is recommended that Player 6 sit down when playing the hi-hat in bars 24-40. Play all [[suspended cymbal]] rolls with soft to medium hard yarn mallets.<br />
