Fiesta Azteca—Bryce Newton. Bursting
with rhythmic energy, this lively concert
band work launches listeners into a colorful
celebration filled with momentum and drive.
Quick, infectious interplay between sections
propels the music forward before giving way
to a warm, reflective mariachi-style trumpet
melody. As the tempo rushes back, intensity
builds toward a thrilling full-ensemble finale.
Vibrant, uplifting, and immediately engaging,
it delivers a confident, festive sound that
shines as either an opener or closer.

Flightline Firefight—Nicolas Smith. Brisk
motion fuels this exciting concert band work
depicting an aerial skirmish, shifting sharply
between calm lyricism and aggressive
intensity as opposing forces collide.
Percussion impacts and bold brass gestures
heighten tension before an exultant melodic
restatement signals victory. The concise
length keeps the energy high, making for
a sharp, exciting choice for high school
programs needing a fast-paced piece that
delivers drama and momentum.

demands are very modest.

For the Ones We Love—Joshua V. Hinkel.
Honor the loved ones in our lives and those
we've lost in this reflective piece for band. Its

expression at the middle or high school level.

Foundry—John Mackey. The first piece
for band at this grade level by this popular
and most creative composer. The concept
of this fascinating work is to introduce
percussionists to the idea that there
are more imaginative ways to perform
other than with the traditional percussion
instruments. Using "found" percussion
instruments in addition to creative wind
parts, the piece creates a life of its own to
the delight of musicians and audiences!

Further Derivations—Michael Kamuf.
A warm, lyrical opening sets the stage
before energy surges forward in this Grade
2 concert band sequel to the composer's
previous work Derivations. Familiar motifs
from the original piece are reshaped into
bold, fast-paced material filled with crisp
articulations and sudden dynamic contrasts.
Shifts in tempo and meter introduce young
players to more advanced compositional
styles while keeping technical demands
accessible. A strong next step that pushes
developing ensembles stylistically while
giving every section a fun moment to shine.

Fury of the Storm—Aiden Minder-
Maldonado. A hushed stillness on open
water sets the scene before wind and
waves take over in this musical depiction
of a tropical storm. Calm textures gradually
accelerate into fast, frantic passages,
all written with manageable ranges
and rhythms so students can focus on
articulation, tempo, control, and ensemble
unity. Sharp contrasts between chaos
and clarity keep the music compelling
throughout. A strong closer for high school
or advanced middle school concert bands
when you want dramatic storytelling paired
with achievable technical demands.

Ghost Fleet—Robert Sheldon. An
exhilarating work! The music is as
compelling as the title! First the music
depicts the calm, rolling waves, but then
trumpet fanfares summon long-forgotten
warships back to the high seas and their
former days of glory! Many exciting sounds
are created by your students, especially
in the percussion section. Warning bells
clang, battles ensue and the music rises
to an intense and powerful climax! An
outstanding choice for concert and contest!

The Gift of Giving (The Power of a Wish)
—Brian Balmages. Unleash the power of
music to inspire profound generosity! This
deeply moving work shares a selfless
Make-A-Wish story that will touch hearts.
Available for both band and orchestra, this
piece isn't just music; it's an experience
that supports the Make-A-Wish Foundation
and reminds us all of humanity's beautiful
capacity for compassion. (5:20)

The Golden Age—David Marlatt. Written
in the carefree style of the music popular
in North America at the turn of the 20th
century, the concerts in band shells
throughout Canada and the United
States featured such compositional
types as theme and variations, orchestral
transcriptions, waltzes, overtures, rags,
and marches. This four-movement suite
presents a typical concert from that time in
a single multimovement work.
