George Sweet

The Voyage		 At first lush and mysterious, then light and uplifting, The Voyage begins. Newcomer George Sweet brings us some invigorating ideas and harmonic treatments, as well as shifting rhythmic feels from 4/4 to 3/4 time. There is some great interplay between various sections of the band that changes from light woodwind sounds to strong brass interjections. George is a composer to watch in the years to come.

Will Drum For Food
Carl Strommen
No disrespect to percussionists, but this piece is for those headbangers in the back of the band! It is a great way to feature them and you may even want to bring them to the front, but be careful, they may just take over! This piece is tons of fun!
