Changing Gears

Changing Gears is a high-energy, crowd-pleasing concert band work that explores shifting time signatures and contrasting rhythmic feels. Lively 3/4 hemiola-based phrasing gives way to a punchy, syncopated 4/4 groove before the music quickly shifts back, or "changes gears," driving toward a thrilling conclusion. Packed with momentum and bold contrasts, the piece is an exciting showcase for ensemble precision, groove, and energy.
