£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)

£53.95Plymouth Trilogy - Anthony Iannaccone
In three movements (each tending more towards light rather than ponderous), this is an immensely accessible work that would be appropriate for bands of moderately advanced skills. From a 6/8 march-feel opening, to a reflective middle movement that ends as a pianissimo chorale, to a lively ending rag, this is a great work. Transparent scoring allows players to shine in small groupings and the surrounding ensemble passages sparkle with life and energy.
