	Don't we all love the sight of the snare drummer in the back of the room with sticks hanging out of one pocket and a triangle beater hanging out of the other? How about the [[glockenspiel]] player with their mallets on the floor? The thought, "I really should put those mallets somewhere else..." rarely occurs to a young percussionist. Trap Door is primarily designed to help young performers become comfortable using an accessory station or trap table. A well-planned trap table can go a long way in developing a sense of organization and responsibility. A secondary focus of Trap Door is counting rests through busy passages. We often teach using unison lines to the point where students develop strength in numbers. It can be intimidating when that confidence is taken away, so in this piece we wean them off through progressively interrupting a repetitive pattern.

			== Notes to Performer ==
			A common full band rehearsal setup would have one trap table for snare drum and bass drum player, one for accessories players, one for keyboard player and one for timpani. <br/>
			Use black towels for the trap table. <br/>
