Begin or end your next concert with this dynamic and challenging new work from Richard Saucedo! Filled with rich musical imagery, the opening section features prominent roles for alto and soprano sax soloists while the percussion section provides a pulsating ostinato accompaniment. After a beautiful lyric section, the fast pace returns with antiphonal tradeoffs, and culminating in a bombastic statement from the entire ensemble.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

A version for combined Choir, Band, & Strings would also be cool (along w/ a Marching Band version) but that'll be in the future.

Maybe adding some more percussionists would do the trick.

Flex Band version please?

[@sfmdude568]

I don't know man. This seems a little too difficult and complex for a flex band to handle.
