Fight the Resistance! by Tanner Otto is an exciting and dynamic march-style piece and was written to highlight the skill of playing closer to the bridge. In order to play the sustained melodic lines forte, students must "fight the resistance" of the bridge by changing their bowing lane. It also reinforces the low-2 finger pattern (A minor) with a few accidentals. The cellos have very accessible shifting, and all sections get to play the melody. Great for working on staccato and accents.
