A best selling chart by Tom Wallace based on the techno-rock masterpiece by the Swiss group Yello. Bandistic in every way while covering all the basic needs for your pep band. Starts fast stays fast ends fast. Start your engines and put the pedal to the metal.

Banda Bella est une marche de concert pleine de vitalité. Après une ouverture martiale les bois développent un motif bouillonnant. Le trio est dominé par un thème dans le registre ténor qui laisse sa place à un intermezzo dans lequel les cuivres conversent en alternance avec les bois. Le thème du trio revient de manière grandiose sur un chant ornementé aux bois.

The Curse of the Black Pearl-Tiré d?un des films les plus en vogue de l?année voici l?apogée de la musique d?aventure qui sera efficace dans n?importe quel décor ! L?arrangement facile mais de bonne qualité de Paul Murtha inclut les thèmes principaux de la bande sonore captivante.

A unique work from the Chicago-based group Mucca Pazza (translation “Mad Cow”) a 30 piece troupe of musicians performing as an outrageous on and off stage marching band. Their work Surf is a concoction ofmemorable bass riffs oddities and sounds. Tom Wallace captures all the intricacies of this piece in what is sure to be one of the most fun marching band arrangements yet to be performed.

Sounding harder than it really is this easy arrangement of Alan Silvestri's popular theme from the film Captain America: The First Avenger will sound great even with smaller bands.

Commissioned by the Japan Band Clinic Committee of Yamaha for the Nemu Band Directors Clinic in Nemu no Sato May 18-20 1997.The surprising title of this work is an indication of its content. By combining the somewhat similar names ‘Nemu no Sato’ and ‘Susato’ into a new word Jan Van der Roost has produced a significant and interesting subject. The Yamaha corporation has extensive facilities in Nemu no Sato Japan including a concert hall recording studios hotel and so on. Concerts workshops clinics and other events are held here including the annual Nemu Band Directors Clinic which consists of numerous musical events. Jan Van der Roost served as guest conductor andspeaker in 1994. He was invited again for the 1997 clinic this time with a composition assignment. The difficulty level of his new piece was to be Grade 2 - 3 bands. With this in mind Mr. Van der Roost strove to create a renaissance-like sound. Simultaneously he wished to create a tribute to Tielman Susato who like Jan Van der Roost lived and worked in Antwerp in the 16th century. The first performance of Nemu-Susato was conducted by the composer performed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Band and took place during the Nemu Band Directors Clinic on May 19 1997.
