£62.95Through Courageous Eyes - Brian Balmages
This innovative work makes use of an optional piano part that is most likely playable by someone already in the band. It was written in honor of Matt Rhodes, a student at John T. Baker Middle (Damascus, MD), who passed away during a battle with spina bifida. It represents his kindness, courage, and determination despite his confinement to a wheelchair. An opening ethereal section and chorale moves into an exciting portrayal of life which concludes with a humorous ending that was very characteristic of Matt. A very musical composition that teaches much more than notes. (4:50)

£87.50Backstage Pass - Brian Balmages
Inspired by the many sounds, styles and moods of Broadway, this entertaining piece was funded by the family of drummer Kyle Woodring, who played with Survivor, Dennis DeYoung, John Mellencamp, and in the Chicago run of Jersey Boys. The music serves as a backstage pass to his career and, in the style of a typical Broadway overture, takes the listener through a series of styles and melodies. Spectacular!
