contrast and clarity. A dependable
high school selection that delivers
confidence and a satisfying march for

Churchill March—Kyle McKinzey. Rapid
momentum and sharp rhythmic bite are
on display in this high school band march
that pays tribute to music educators past
and present. Fast outer sections demand
technical precision through intricate interplay
and quick flourishes, while an unexpected
trio in 6/8 shifts the character and meter.

The Governor's Own—Alton Adams/ed.
Loras John Schissel. Alton Adams was the
first black bandmaster in the United States
Navy, and perhaps the most popular. His
bands were celebrated across the United
States during his years of service, and he
eventually rose to political prominence in
the U.S. Virgin Islands. Add this wonderful
march to your library – and to your next
concert program!

Impresario (Symphonic March)—Otto
M. Schwarz. Solemn and powerful in
character, this symphonic march for band
is equally effective as an opening statement
or a triumphant finale. A strong main theme
is reshaped through varied harmonic and
rhythmic treatments before giving way to
a trio with refined technical detail and a
memorable melody. The work concludes
with an intense, driving finish that sets it
apart from the traditional march style.

March, Op. 99—Sergei Prokofiev/arr. Jose
Schyns. Fast, buoyant motion defines this
concert band arrangement of a classical
march offering nonstop momentum. The
compact length keeps energy high, while
technical demands reward groups with
solid fundamentals. A fun concert option
when advanced groups want a quick,
exciting showcase that tests precision
and virtuosity while exposing students to a
master composer of classical literature.

Pomp and Circumstance March No.
5—Edward Elgar/arr. Dwayne S. Milburn.
Available for the first time for the modern
concert band, this adaptation matches the
brisk, cheerful colors of the original. As
Elgar's last large-scale composition, the
boisterous music of the march section is
balanced by an elegant trio that typifies the
best of Elgar's music. An effective selection
for graduations or concert performance.

Right Left March—John Philip Sousa/arr.
Loras John Schissel. A lilting 6/8 meter
gives this Sousa march its playful style.
Tuneful phrases and clear march structure
stay approachable, while the shouted "right-
left" steps from the players in the trio add
some humor to the piece. A smart concert
choice for bringing traditional march style to
life while reinforcing pulse and coordination
with a memorable twist.

Starlight March—Ed Huckeby. This bright
and energetic concert band march
weaves a unique blend of traditional
and contemporary harmonies into
flowing melodic lines and dramatic
countermelodies. Incorporating brief
quotes of "star" themes including Twinkle,
Twinkle, Little Star and The Stars and
Stripes Forever, this creative work provides
an excellent vehicle for teaching and
promoting march style and technique. It will
undoubtedly become a favorite of march-
loving audiences.

The Ringmaster—Jon Bubbett. A spirited,
fun-loving march written in the circus style of
the late 1800s and early 1900s – its happy
and carefree energy brings back memories
of three-ring circuses, trapeze artists, and
clowns. As the master of ceremonies, the
ringmaster – decked out in a bright red
tailcoat trimmed in gold and a black top
hat – directed the crowd's attention to the
various rings where the acts took place,
building excitement for each new act. Relive
the frenetic energy of the circus: for "ladies
and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of
all ages!" (2:30)

Triumphal March from Caractacus—
Edward Elgar/arr. Clarence E. Barber.
Triumphant, regal character dominates this
advanced concert band arrangement drawn
from the closing march of an Elgar opera
about a British chieftain resisting the Roman
conquest. Classical sonorities and dense
textures place high technical demands
across the ensemble. The weighty writing
emphasizes precision, articulation, and
sustained intensity. A formidable selection
for advanced high school bands.

UFO March—Robert Langenfeld.
Unconventional and cinematic, this sci-
fi-infused march gives a playful twist to
the traditional style. An energetic opening
in 6/8 shifts into a sturdy 2/4, blending
classic structure with the soundscape
of a Hollywood alien invasion. Bold
themes, distinctive harmonies, and
colorful orchestration create mystery and
excitement, with an optional synthesized
theremin adding an otherworldly edge.
A fresh, engaging choice for ensembles
looking to bring something unexpected to
their concert program.

The Wild One! (Circus March)—Brian
Balmages. A blistering circus march
designed to showcase your entire ensemble.
This adrenaline-packed work will bring your
audience to its feet regardless of where
you program it in your concert. Cleverly
combining the traditional march form with
contemporary elements, this barnburner is
sure to turn heads and be a ton of fun for
performers and audiences alike. There are
plenty of opportunities for percussionists,
including several optional parts for directors
with larger sections. (2:40)

Woody Van's March—Karl King/arr. Gene
Milford. A classic from Karl King
originally written for a small circus band
is arranged here for high school bands.
Rapid sixteenth-note flourishes and
frequent grace notes demand precise
finger clarity while preserving the march's
historic melodic and harmonic content.
Updated scoring suits modern wind band
instrumentation without softening the
challenge or spirit of the original. A strong
choice for directors seeking a traditional
march that stretches technique while
honoring classic band repertoire.

Xerxes—John Mackey. A concert march
unlike any march you've heard before!
While most marches can be categorized
by traditional performance traits, the best
description here is "angry!" The sheer
power and aggressive nature of the
music brings a somewhat evil element
and entirely new perspective to traditional
marches. Explosive!
