We know there has been a lot of activity over the last 24 hours with regards to state marching band associations and cancellations of upcoming competition seasons. We want you to know that we are here to help, however we can. Our hearts break for your students, especially the seniors. If you are planning on doing some version of a scaled back or non-competitive marching season or perhaps a winter indoor season, we are here to be a resource for brainstorming ideas, creating new content and getting you connected to the right materials to make something happen. Let us know how we can help! We care about you, your programs, your students and most importantly, your health and safety.
Updated Show - Machines
A popular show, Machines, has been updated! Originally it was written with minimal percussion and slowly over time more and more parts have been added. Well we are pleased to announce that Machines is now available with full battery, marimba, xylophone, vibraphone, bells, synthesizer, bass guitar, and rack percussion. Of course more parts can be added if there is something that you need that isn’t listed in the instrumentation. Hear the updated audio and instrumentation list below!
Updated Show - Resilience
When Resilience was written in 2013, America was dealing with the aftermath of the Sandy-Hook Elementary shootings and the Boston Marathon Bombing. Now, in 2020, America has new tragedies to deal with. Whenever this show is performed, it can be associated with current events. We gave this show a face lift, reduced some of the mallet writing, and updated the playback. Check out the new version below.
Updated Show - Upside Down
We’ve tweaked part 3 of Upside Down. If you haven’t checked out this incredible 80’s themed show, you’re doing yourself a disservice! Music from Stranger Things, Back to the Future, Journey, and Phil Collins will give your audience 8 minutes of throwback bliss. Check it out below!
Updated Show - Firebird
A top selling show, Firebird, has been updated to now include sound design! Sound design can be an integral 3rd element, besides music and visual, to a show. Tim did a fantastic job creating and the show takes a whole new life with it. Check it out below!
Updated Show - Frost
One of our new shows has recently been updated. Frost is a concept show surrounding the theme of winter and can be interpreted many different ways. Recently, Jeff updated parts 2 and 3 a bit. Check out the new version below!
New Show - Another Brick in the Wall - WITHOUT Battery
We continue to grow our catalog of shows that have been arranged to exclude battery. Today, we add one more to the list! Another Brick in the Wall has been a top selling and top performing show for the last 2 years. Now it can be performed by ensembles who choose not to field a drumline. Follow the link below for details and a recording.
Updated Show - Go!
At the very beginning of Jeff’s compositional career, he wrote a show titled “Go!” for Kamiakin High School (where he graduated) in Kennewick, Washington. It was a crowd favorite and scored well. But here’s the good news; it just got better! Jeff and Pete spent a few weeks this winter reorchestrating, rewriting, and updating audios. Hear the new version of “Go!” below!
Royalty Free Shows
Buying the show is only half the battle anymore. With performing licensing fees being as expensive as ever, we thought a Royalty Free Show page would come in handy. Follow the link below to see a page of shows that are all written with either original music or with music that is in the public domain. As always, don’t hesitate to reach out for score requests or questions!
More Individual Arrangements Added
One of the under-utilized pages on our website is the Individual Arrangements page. If you’re piecing together a show from multiple sources, check out this page! There over 100 arrangements of various pieces all for purchase. They are a mix of music taken from an individual movement of one of our shows and stand alone pieces. Don’t stress over what closer to use anymore! Check out all of our arrangements today.
Multiple Bass Drum Options
Great news! All shows now have the option of 4 or 5 bass drums as a standard option. That’s 1 less thing to have to worry about when selecting the perfect show. Click below to see all 70+ fully customizable shows available.
