For me it was Into the Storm by Robert W. Smith. I played it back in Junior High. It was an exciting peice. What are some of your favs?

Sketches on a Tudor Psalm in 1975 in High School in Deerfield Beach Fla. We toured Europe 5 countries in 17 days and that was our highlighted piece for contest in Holland.

Great memories!

Two of my favorites would have to be 'Toccota for Band' (i can't remember the composer) or 'Lincoln Portrait' by Copland.

Festive Overture by Shostakovitch. Man, that was fun!

Incantation and Dance is also a fun piece to play.

I dunno, I guess "We Will Rock You"by whomever arr. for a young band.
I'm only in beginner band, so we haven't done much.

Hey, don't feel bad about being a beginner! Everyone starts somewhere, right? I played that piece in middle school band. You're right, it is a lot fun! Keep with it, and you'll get to play a lot more fun stuff! Go for it, trumpet/cornet is fun.

Right now we're playing a piece called, "Symphony for Band" by Vincent Pursechetti (can't spell the last name off the top of my head). It's a lot of work, but it's really fun, and the parts are so intricate. I love it!
