Program Notes
Dedicated to Mr. Dale Bigus, Band Director, New Berlin Eisenhower Middle School, New Berlin, WI.
- Program Note from score
This is a newly-found treasure from the old VanderCook Band Book, and a tribute to the artistry of this great composer, conductor, and educator. With a jaunty first strain, a driving second strain with great low brass countermelodies, a noble trio, a martial break strain - this little march has everything.
