for Band. Par MAIRS DAVID. This march was written for the Durham MS Band in Lewisville, TX, an enthusiastic group of young musicians, growing in their technique and musicality and eager to sound like the big kids. Pride of the Maroon Dragons features a variety of articulations for the trumpets and upper woodwinds in the first strain, and a bold melody for the low brass and low woodwinds in the second. The trio features a smooth, legato melody in the clarinets and horns, followed by a melodic refrain in which every section has something important to say. Throughout the march, the percussionists have plenty to do on many different instruments, while the horns will be smiling quietly because they don't have to play any after-beats! / Date parution : 2022-10-12/ Répertoire / Marching Band

Fall Out Boy continues to lead the pack when it comes to hard-hitting rock tunes that work great for marching band! Horns and saxes get a workout on this one, with important contributions from the woodwinds and all the brass.

The mallet percussion and woodwinds present the tender ballad ?Sally's Song ? followed by a dramatic full band statement. The style becomes more intense with ?End Title ? featuring a percussion break andpowerful push to the final strains. Impressive music that will sound great as well as offer endless staging possibilities!

Slinky yet sophisticated this jazzy theme remains one of Henry Mancini's best! Paul's chart provides a nice mix of full band passages along with dynamic contrasts and a feature spot for woodwinds on the melody.

The Moody Blues put themselves on the map with this classic rock ballad. Beautifully written here to feature a trumpet solo at the start followed by a dramatic building segment. The woodwinds have a brief feature section then the piece builds to a strong close.

Even though the opening is mysterious sounding and features the woodwinds this creative chart still provides some powerful ensemble moments a brief trumpet solo and a soaring chorus before returning to a quieter ending.

This well-known Irish jig makes a spirited opener for the field. The woodwinds have a nice opportunity to be featured at the start and are then joined by the trumpets. After a brief section in triple feel the pace is quickened not once but twice for a rousing ending.
