Wiregrass March was written to celebrate the southern portion of Georgia and Alabama known as Wiregrass Country, because of the type of grass that grows in this sandy soil. This march is written in the traditional style of Henry Fillmore. After a short introduction, the first strain has a light, happy melody with a simple flourish from the low brass. The second strain is highlighted by chromatic harmony to add depth. The new melodic content introduced by the low clarinets and euphonium first time through the trio add to the beauty of this march. This is followed by a flourish of brass to the end.
