UPC: 8402703426.

Written with rich melodies, solid chord structure and interesting percussion parts, this original overture will captivate both players and audience. Originally written as a festival piece for the composer's local middle school, it also has worked remarkably well for honor bands. Not only it is fun to play, but it is also a wonderful teaching piece.
