Grade 3

“A Debt of Gratitude” was composed to honor members of the armed services who either currently are or have served in the past. The themes and the bold fanfares represent their heroism and unwavering determination. We can never repay them for their selflessness and their courage to keep us free.

Grade 3

This march was composed to celebrate students advancing a grade at the end of the year. My students know I love marches and I could not think of a better style to celebrate the end of the year than a march! I hope you and your students enjoy the "Advancement" march.

Grade 3.5

When performing this arrangement for graduation or any other type of ceremony, there are different options for timing at your disposal. You may repeat from 62 to 23 or 62 to the beginning as many times as necessary. To provide contrast and allow performers to rest, you could have the brass and woodwinds alternate playing 23 to 62. Once you have played past measure 63, it is not recommended to back to the beginning or measure 23 because of the key change. Measure 70 to 89 may also be repeated as many times as necessary.
