Miles Ahead - Jay Taylor

This selection for first-year bands was carefully written to sound full and mature, giving young players confidence and impressing audiences that a young band can sound so mature and accomplished. Not only will it have your group sounding miles ahead of their age and experience, it will give them a glimpse of the future and the many great musical moments they have waiting for them in the miles ahead.

Miles of Blue - Brian Balmages

Milestone Overture - Dirk Brossé

This work was written at the pivotal point of both two centuries and two millennia. With its hopeful melodies and triumphant parts in the brass section, the opening pictures the dawning of a new era of great expectations, characterized by the high speed of communicating all over the world, which is one of the most important aspects of life in the 21st century. This is achieved by musical themes being rapidly transferred from one musician to another. In this vortex of information and fast business transactions, the sense of individuality threatens to become extinct. At this point, Brosse silences the orchestra (a symbol of society) and draws attention to those peoplewho are less fortunate than most of us. This focus on other people culminates with an orchestral climax in which all powers come together with a feeling of euphoria.

Military Escort - Harold Bennett

This famous regimental march by Henry Fillmore (written under the Harold Bennett pseudonym as part of the famous Bennett Band Books) comes re-scored for full concert band. It remains a classic example of effective and disarming simplicity, reflecting the innocence and charm of a bygone era. Perfect introduction to early American regimental band works.

Military Escort March - Harold Bennett

The most popular of Harold Bennett's (a.k.a Henry Fillmore) marches, Military Escort is one that even Sousa wished he had written. From the opening trumpet fanfare to the tuneful trio, this classic is one of the best! Larry Clark has arranged this, as he has many other Harold Bennett marches, to be better suited for today's bands. This is a proven winner in an arrangement that you know will work.
