Rock the stands with this energetic arrangement of Avril Lavigne's smash hit.

Using a recurring four-note motif and a variety of textural punctuations, here is a stunning and fresh-sounding overture from Richard Saucedo. A slow and lyric middle section featuring woodwind colors and rich emotional contours provides a stark contrast to the rhythmic intensity of the opening and closing sections. Dramatic and powerful! Dur: 4:15

Commissioned by the Band of America for the 2006 National Honor Band, this impressive tour de force displays a wide range of tonal colors, stylistic variations, and emotional depth for the contemporary wind band. Known for his lyric writing style and powerful ensemble peaks, Samuel Hazo maximizes the effectiveness of the medium in this stunning work. Dur: 7:00 (Includes full performance CD)

Here's a great chance to spotlight a young pianist with your band with this classic showpiece of Richard Rodgers. The dramatic themes are pure Americana and will delight any audience. Both the piano and band parts are written at a medium level.

This monumental suite is one of the most impressive transcriptions ever published. Every note comes from the original Dvorak work, including the transitions from one dance to the next. Written for Dr. Harry Begian's last tour with the University of Illinois Symphonic Band, this powerful concert work lets every section of the band shine ... a must for mature groups.
