This work is composed by the very talented Grammy Award-winning composer Michael League composer for many of the works performed by the group Snarky Puppy one of the most exciting entertaining and musically sophisticated groups of young musicians performing today. The group is a collective of nearly 40 musicians consisting of guitars pianos keyboards woodwinds brass percussion and strings. From their most recent album We Like It Here comes this Latin wonder Tio Macaco tastefully arranged by Tom Wallace. An infectious mix of melodies and harmonies co-exist with an unstoppable groove to create just the kind of music that marching bands find irresistible.

Marching Blues est écrit dans un style où se croisent les influences blues et résolument swing-jazz des grands Big Bands. Idéale pour exploiter le talent des musiciens cette marche développe un solo de vingt-huit mesures confié au tuba saxophone ténor ou saxophone baryton. Quelle que soit la taille de votre formation (d?un petit ensemble instrumental à la formation complète) cette marche séduira aussi bien les musiciens que les auditeurs toutes générations confondues.

Now even younger bands can provide the answer to this musical question from Tower of Power. The ultimate in funk for the marching field!

From his popular concert band work Richard Saucedo masterfully adapts this as a field show opener in grand style. Includes highlights for all sections including brass percussion and woodwinds. The blazing finish is impressive for bands of any size.

This stately concert opener was originally written by Jan Van der Roost for a special event in which six respected wind orchestras (two Belgian and four Dutch) of different composition (two symphonic bands two fanfare bands and two brass bands) were featured during six concerts. Each evening brought forth a performance by a symphonic band a fanfare and brass band so that the audience could experience all three types of ensembles. This was indeed an original concept.The name ConZEnSus comes from a combination of the words ‘Concert Cyclus’ (concert series) and ‘zes’ (Dutch for ‘six’). This leads to a new word which refers to ‘consensus’. The general tenor of the cycle isthus immediately indicated. The richness of color of the various ensembles is revealed through an open and friendly atmosphere. During all six concerts (over a span of three years) ConZEnSus functioned as a permanent opening number for each orchestra. Thus the same musical story was portrayed in three different packages.

Jay's Aztec Fire has been a favorite of competing bands for years. We asked him to adapt it to this easier series so smaller and inexperienced bands could share the excitement of this great composition. The ultimate Spanish opener!

Born in Jarrow northeast England in 1949 John Miles was something of a child prodigy learning the piano from the age of five. In the early ’60s he persuaded his father to buy him a guitar and by the end of the decade he had joined a semi-professional band The Influence. The group soon disbanded and by 1969 Miles was recording with his own group The John Miles Band releasing a dozen singles in the early ’70s. In 1975 Miles decided to move to London and secured a deal with Decca Records. By October that year a newly formed band John Miles and Co had released their debut single Highfly but their greatest hit which stormed the British charts in March 1976 was Music.
