Beginning with the steady beat of two snare drums, The Coldstream Guards is a fine example of an English style march by a master of band scoring. Tuneful and colorful, it pays tribute to the pageantry and dignity of the Queen of England's own guard. It will be an excellent alternative to standard marches as a contest warm-up. Duration: 2' 40.

Beethoven’s March of the Guards from the opera Fidelio has been adapted for flexible-instrumentation bands by Andrew Glover. This stately processional march maintains an air of dignity and solemnity throughout, and adapts well to the five-part Build-A-Band instrumentation. Careful scoring and minimal percussion requirements make this an excellent choice for very small ensembles, or those with awkward instrumentations. An excellent choice!

A very popular Karl King march arranged by Andy Clark for the new Build-A-Band Series for bands with unique instrumentations. Playable by any combination of instruments as long as you have the five main parts covered plus drums. It's true to King's original and will sound great with a small number of players.

About Build-A-Band Series

The Build-A-Band Series provides educational and enjoyable music for bands with incomplete or unbalanced instrumentation. Written using just four or five parts (plus percussion), these effective arrangements will work with any combination of brass, woodwind, string and percussion instruments as long as you distribute the parts so that each of the five parts is covered. All of the publications in the Build-A-Band Series have been arranged to be playable with any instrumentation as long as each part is used: 1st Part, 2nd Part, 3rd Part, 4th Part, and Bass Part. (Please note: In some of these arrangements the 4th Part, and the Bass Part are the same, making it possible to play those arrangements with only 4 parts.)
