The pieces utilized in this book are: Activity, Summit, Success, Project, Courage, Mister Joe, Genius, Improvement, At Sight, Little Rastus, Laurel and Aline.

There is the added benefit of a full recording of each march performed by a professional band on the CD that is included in the conductor's score.
