   Modern School for Xylophone, Marimba, Vibraphone by Morris Goldenberg. It's got a little something for everyone. I don't have the foggiest idea where you could get before Monday though...... check any music shops that sell band instruments, they usually have percussion music. That's about all I can say  Undecided.

I'm with Hippie on this one.  Find an etude in the Goldenberg book.

The auditioners are probably just looking to be sure you can play moderately well.  A G'berg etude is just the ticket.

just make sure you play P&B at the right tempo. Smiley

The Goldenberg book is the best tho.. realy good stuff in there. If i had a keyboard around, I'd get my old book out.  

2-mallet is ok, but 4-mallet would be more impressive.  Try '2 Mexican Dances' its repetitive, and exercises good intependance.  

If you want an idea for other 2-mallet pieces, try picking a Motzart, Bach, or Chopin sonata for a wind instrament. Those work well, too.
