That's probably one of the best arrangements I've heard. You should publish this so that other bands can play this as well

Fantastic Arrangement by Lewis Norfleet. Former CWU band director.!incredible.

I've heard and performed the National Anthem hundreds of times. This is one of the few arrangements that actually makes me "feel". The only one that tops this for me is the late, great Whitney Houston (1992 Super Bowl) version. Also, the CWUMB has never sounded better. Bravo!

I’ve been at CWU for 3 years and I get chills every time I listen to this video and hear them live. They are without question the best band in the West ❤️💯

They sound awesome!! Great arrangement.

[@TheStormBeat]

Great arrangement! Brought upon chills.

[@andycorum626]

In today's environment - we really need to share this as much as possible. I've written the department in the past, and they have not responded to me. It's no matter - this is absolutely stunning and should be heard.

[@mlynnlm9068]

Andy Corum, I agree.

[@channingtutt1423]

[@brandonbilliot25]

This is a stunning arrangement, and performance.

[@davematthys2511]

Great arrangement and performance Lewis!

[@DattClass]

Absolutely fantastic, brass section sounds superb, if someone showed me this and didn’t tell me is your CWU playing it I would’ve thought it was a drum corps. Great arrangement great sound, you’re doing a fine job with this band Mr. Norfleet!! Definitely a dream of mine to conduct this song with a group playing it exactly like that👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Absolutely the most moving and inspiring arrangement of a song that I have heard so many times, and never thought could get any better than what it already was. Thank you Lewis for conducting such an amazing sounding band!
