Master Level (correlates with Book 2, p. 32) The sounds of the old west come alive in this exciting arrangement by Paul Lavender. Effectively scored for all sections, your players will have a blast playing this one!

(Risk) Everything for a Dream - Richard L. Saucedo

This beautiful and sensitive composition was written to celebrate the beginning of UNITED SOUND, an organization whose purpose is to put instruments into the hands of special needs students.The beginning section features optional solo opportunities for flute, alto sax and trumpet. From there the piece adds layers of sonorities as the full ensemble builds to the emotional and powerful final strains.

(Somewhere) Over the Rainbow

The melancholic (Somewhere) Over the Rainbowx is unmistakably one of the most successful musical evergreens ever. The simplicity and unique beauty of this song formed the inspiration for numerous covers that have been created since its release. The beloved international pop star Beyonc also gave it her own personal touch, and composer-arranger Thomas Doss based his jazzy version for concert band on her performance of the song.
