Celebrating the spirit of hope and determination of the early pioneers on the Iowa plains, this bold and varied overture also pays tribute to the historical importance of railroading to the city of Algona. Using a wide range of styles and timbres, Algona Crossing allows every section of the band a chance to shine. (Note: The piano part is optional and cued in mallets and woodwinds.)

This was my favorite song in our concert as a percussionist, the snare drum gets many opportunities to shine!

[@Phrynn]

As someone who is also playing the snare drum part for this piece, I can confirm that it is quite fun to play

[@sbr-bochum]

[@mattslazik]

Sounds a bit like Short Ride in a Fast Machine

[@daytona2009]

our band played it, it gets published later this year, it was written for our bands

[@dylanberte1982]

Lol if it was written for your band then we go to the same school

[@captainbanaynays]

I smell inspiration from Swamp Rabbit Stomp Still a nice piece though

[@mr.klunee4103]

yes especially at 1.25 speed

[@dylanberte1982]

They're both by Michael Sweeney, so it really doesn't matter
