This is an arrangement I made of Where Is My Mind by the Pixies for my Grade 3s using Orff Instrumentation. Inside you will find Glockenspiel, Alto Xylophone, and Bass Xylophone parts. You will need a Bb key for your BX.
It is in F major to facilitate the singing range of the children. Depending on your class, you may choose to have a soloist or choir do the vocal line. I have not included the second verse in this arrangement.
You can use this as a springboard for your own arrangement. I removed the B section from the original to make it strictly ostinato-based, thus being accessible to a younger ensemble. When I performed it with my students we were on a short timeline on stage so we faded out using the ostinatos. Make choices that honour your ensemble and the expectations of your administration and community.
I included a Ukulele chart & tab for teachers that may use ukulele in their program. The Bb chord is a little tricky, but if you have a motivated or experienced uku section they might enjoy the challenge.
The drum has been split into bass & snare. When I performed it I consolidated it into a single Djembe part with a bass tone and a slap. Choose Non-pitched percussion available in your school.
