Par HOSAY JAMES L.. GUARDIANS OF PEACE is dedicated to the United States Atlantic Fleet. From their homeport of Norfolk, Virginia, they are ready and able to deploy to any region of the world at a moment’s notice, to help maintain peace and stability throughout the world. They have a long, proud history of service and dedication, and played a major role in the success of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. The level of dedication and self-sacrifice required by this type of service is the highest in all the military, as individuals must be separated from families and loved ones for long periods of time, while placing their lives and well-being in grave danger. / Niveau : 4 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par HANNICKEL MIKE. STAMPEDE!!! takes us back to an old American West of longhorn cattle-drives, chuck wagons, campfires and trail songs. Based on several authentic cowboy songs, STAMPEDE!!! opens at dawn (birdcalls included) with the “Cowboy’s Gettin’ Up Holler”. Lively fiddle and harmonica motifs and an eloquent scoring of “Good-bye, Old Paint” are just part of this contribution to Grade 3 concert band literature by Mike Hannickel. “The Chisholm Trail” (a true cowboy classic) figures importantly at the beginning and, in a driving re-harmonization, leads to the thrilling conclusion. / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
