Gallantry March - Marsha Chusmir Shapiro

With all the spirit and power of a classic 6/8 march plus dazzling low brass melodies and countermelodies where you'd expect tiresome oom-pahs, Gallantry March by Marsha Chusmir Shapiro gives you everything you could want in a march and more. Shifting dynamics and thoughtful voicings teach ensemble balance, listening down for rich, sonorous chords, and musicianship across sections to help intermediate bands shine in concert and contest!

Game of T-Bones

Gayle Force

This spirited and exciting composition lets performers work on accents, articulations, dynamics and the development of a controlled sound in a contemporary feeling work. Use of an ostinato rhythm, interesting percussion parts and the usual Quincy Hilliard compositional surprises makes this a great choice for concert or contest performances.

Generosity - Matthew R. Putnam

Generosity is an original march in standard form, but written with developing players in mind. It is reminiscent of the wonderful marches of Bennett or King, with tuneful melodies, interesting harmonies, and a few chromatic twists thrown in to make it more exciting. Mathew Putnam has written a perfect vehicle to teach the march style and form to developing players.

Ghost Chasers

Ghost Chasers is a perfect selection for Halloween, but great for any time you're in the mood for some spooky fun. In this playful piece, Ghost and Chaser are heard in the simple counterpoint between the two sections. Students will find the independent part playing both challenging and fun. Your ensemble will also gain experience in changing articulation from Marcato to Legato and practicing restraint and balance in the half measure lag between the two sections playing the same theme.

Ghost Dancing

An excellent study and introduction to contemporary compositional techniques, Ghost Dancing will stimulate the students in their exploration of modern music. Some of the dissonances are biting, adding to the excitement of the piece. The contrasting lyrical middle section gives a release from the tension before leading back to the aggressive main theme. You might consider this for performance around Halloween!
