	“Ultraviolet” consists mainly of 5-measure phrases (Beginning, Letters “A” and “C”) with a few 4-measure phrases thrown in (Letter “B” and measure 50 to the end). The players should take care to feel the 5-bar phrases as this will be a new concept for most students. Players should be careful of their dynamics, especially at the beginning where the piece slowly builds in volume up to measure 14. The snare and bass players should be concerned with balance and blend at all times. The sticking for the mallets at Letter “B” gives the vibes and marimba players a chance to use the same sticking for each two-bar phrase. They can practice this sticking on a drum until it is comfortable, and then move it to the keyboards. The sticking has been doubled in the snare drum so that all three players can practice the same sticking together. The [[timpani]] player is featured from measure 50 to the end. Write in stickings as necessary. Although the part is written at forte (and above), be as musical as possible; this isn’t a time to destroy the [[timpani]]. Practice the drum-to-drum parts in measures 57, 60, 61, and 63 slowly until it flows. Player 1 should use yarn mallets to play the cymbal (yarn for rolls, the shaft or to a stick for rhythmic patterns). Players 2 and 3 should use sticks to play their percussion parts ([[hi hat]] and [[floor tom]]). Player 4 can use the back of the [[timpani]] mallets to play the [[ride cymbal]] but a drum stick is preferred. Player 5 should have the high tom placed to the right of the [[snare drum]].		“Ultraviolet” consists mainly of 5-measure phrases (Beginning, Letters “A” and “C”) with a few 4-measure phrases thrown in (Letter “B” and measure 50 to the end).
