Here's a patriotic medley that is perfect for that very first concert. Yankee Spirit March uses only six notes (concert B-flat to G) and no eighth notes. John O'Reilly has arranged sections of the following all-time favorites: 'Yankee Doodle,' 'You're a Grand Old Flag,' 'America the Beautiful,' 'The Marines' Hymn,' 'Caisson Song' and 'Anchors Aweigh.' Correlated with Yamaha Band Student, Book 1, page 8.
