Creepin' Monsters
Episode 38
Monday, 13 July, 2026

In this episode of Band BFFs, Laura and Katie explore Creepin’ Monsters by Chris Clark, a playful and spooky new work written especially well for young ensembles. They discuss its accessible ranges, repetitive structure, light staccato style, colorful percussion effects, and opportunities to teach phrasing, articulation, accidentals, balance, and ensemble independence. With flexible tempo possibilities and engaging features for every section, this piece is a strong choice for a young band fall concert or an end-of-year beginner performance.
