PERFORMANCE IDEAS:

Bucket Ensemble
All players play the same part, depending on their collective skill level.
Multiple groups play different parts, one after the other, getting more challenging with each new group and lengthening the performance time.
Multiple groups play different parts at the same time.
Recorder Ensemble with Choir
As many advanced players aas you have play the recorder part.  The rest of the students sing the lyrics.
General Music Mashup
Students are split into groups to play recorder, bells, or bucket drums and have them perform the song together or one instrument after the other with a full-ensemble grand finale!
