Par WILLIAMS JOHN. From the motion picture 1941, this is John Williams' tongue-in-cheek tribute to the big band era. Jay has adapted his arrangement for the Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps into a stunning production for marching band that will leave the crowd breathless! Featuring the sax section, a trumpet solo, and hot ensemble punches, it's just like having a mega jazz band on the field! / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Marching Band

Featuring the trumpet section, the gorgeous R and B ballad 'You're Still a Young Man' offers a nice change of pace as Part 2 of our Tower of Power show. (2:15) / Marching Band

for Band. Par MAIRS DAVID. This march was written for the Durham MS Band in Lewisville, TX, an enthusiastic group of young musicians, growing in their technique and musicality and eager to sound like the big kids. Pride of the Maroon Dragons features a variety of articulations for the trumpets and upper woodwinds in the first strain, and a bold melody for the low brass and low woodwinds in the second. The trio features a smooth, legato melody in the clarinets and horns, followed by a melodic refrain in which every section has something important to say. Throughout the march, the percussionists have plenty to do on many different instruments, while the horns will be smiling quietly because they don't have to play any after-beats! / Date parution : 2022-10-12/ Répertoire / Marching Band

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. Mercury is a concert march composed in a typically British idiom. In 1990, Jan Van der Roost wrote this piece on the occasion of the 15-year anniversary of his own band: Brass Band Midden Brabant. Like many British marches, the main theme is written in a minor key. Powerful and virtuoso themes characterize the first part of this march, while the trio melody is much more melodical, offering the tenor register to display its lyrical skills. Follows a dynamic passage for trombones and trumpets/cornets, leading to a 'grandioso' version of the main trio melody and thus concluding this march in a magnificent way. / Niveau : 4 / Marche / Répertoire / Fanfare

Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. This enchanting melody is from the fourth movement of Bach’s Cantata 140 which was composed in 1731 using the parable of the wise and foolish virgins as the text. The work is beautiful in its simplicity with only three melodic lines, demonstrating Bach’s counterpoint at its best. For greatest effect it is suggested that the trumpets and trombones play behind the band or to the right and left of the stage. / Niveau : 3 / Hymnes et chorals / Répertoire / Fanfare
