The Victors - Louis Elbel
This is the most famous of all college fight songs, but more impottant than that, it is a stellar concert march for contest/festival performance. The lesser known first and second strains are comparible to the great marches of John Philip Sousa and others. Andrew Balent works his magic to make it playable for today's bands.

Wake Up for Christmas
Designed to showcase the percussion and trumpet sections of the band, Wake Up for Christmas has an inherently funny premise: that kids need to be awakened on Christmas!

During this musical journey you will hear: A-Tisket A- Tasket, Rain Rain Go Away, The Muffin Man, Shortin' Bread, Shoo Fly Don't Bother Me and Mary Had a Little Lamb. These songs are familiar, but the arrangement by Joseph Compello is unique and enjoyable.
