A lot of the music we play in band (8th grade) was written by him. Here are some of the pieces that I have in my folder now

Blue Ridge Saga
Gallant Marines

He is a very popular composer. Does anyone else have pieces that he has written?

emblem of unity. its cool, but we're not taking it to competition.

edit: erg, looked again and its called coast guard. we're taking that to competition. if i had the class i could hear wat it might sound like, but right now i have no idea.

edit: now that i've heard and played it, it is very nauseating...

Right now we're playing All Glory Told, it's a group one peice for contest. It's not all that hard, just annoying after playing it for soooooooooooo many times. It's got a nice tune, and our band plays it very well. Yup, 8th grade band is playing group one! ^_^

ugh i HATE swearingen. all of his stuff sounds the same. talk2hand
we sight read something he arranged today at festival, sight read celebration for winds and percussion earlier this year, played covington square my freshman year, and played freedom's march in 7th grade.

last year for festival we played emblem of unity, though. i liked that march.

. . In eighth grade...2005 was it? I met him. xD Part of the CBDA honor band thing, but I was only in Concert, so he wasn't our conductor. :C I like his 'Panther in the Sky' piece.

I've played way to many songs by him. He even came to our school once to direct for us. His music is ok, but the dynamics changes make me unhappy.

forget just his stuff, all MARCHES sound the same. one of the reasons i don't like them stare

    Most of his stuff sounds very alike, but I will admit that I have listened to and played "Blue Ridge Saga" many, many times. :)

Cool, our band has also played "Jubilance." We also just recently played "Of Pride and Celebration."
