This new overture (fast-slow-fast) from Michael Sweeney opens with a dynamic unison statement and features powerful percussion writing throughout. The lyrical slow section includes a short trumpet solo and lush woodwind scoring. Mike's unique use of harmonies and dramatic effects makes this particularly impressive for younger players.

I played this in grade 7 and this was all we did for a while, nobody wanted to work on anything else. We didn't do as well at festival as we typically do lol

[@arb1tra]

Lucky lol

[@alyssadeleon1686]

these trumpet solos are nice! I really recommend this for younger players to keep trying! I wish to say I played this but I am a violinist, so I'm not a band member. But my friends are and yeah, I recommend this.

I played this song in like 2011 in 7th grade. I had the trumpet solo AND braces so by the end my lips hurt so bad 😂 good times. I had so much fun in band

The trumpet solos are great! we played this for concert festival, and i recommend playing this piece

[@raymundogonzalez5963]

eric chan yes we got superior, the judges really loved the piece, make sure to make the articulation very fine and on point

[@raymundogonzalez5963]

eric chan also when you get to the triplet part, make them stand out, very important for points!

[@trinityelizabethcastillo-m1695]

yeah we played this for concert festival as well and the clarinet solo and trumpet solo were the best parts (aside from temp changes) I think

[@cahassien]

I played this last year. I’m a cello and we combined with the band for this. Literal chills

[@co2mikokyo990]

I played this when I was still in band at my high school 2 years before I graduated, and I'll tell ya, we actually played this with our lives, best song ever!!

Every instrument is supposed to play _ff_ for the last three measures in my band (I’m an alto saxophone player) and the only thing you can hear during that part is the tubas and trombones. They’re crazy loud.
