recommended by Ken T., Band Education Specialist
Into the Unknown arr. Paul Murtha, Grade 3-4
From Disney’s “Frozen II” here is a dynamic arrangement for the field or stands of the award-winning and inspiring hit recorded by Idina Menzel.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker arr. Matt Conaway & Jack Holt, Grade 4
The Star Wars saga wraps up with this blockbuster movie, and features more fabulous music from John Williams. This arrangement starts slow with a majestic new theme, then builds steadily to the familiar and exciting main theme.
Danger Zone arr. Mike Story, Grade 2
Everybody knows this classic hit from the Top Gun movies. Mike Story has arranged Kenny Loggins’ epic song into a chart that every band can play. This one rocks!
Mr. Blue Sky arr. Matt Conaway & Jack Holt, Grade 3-4
Featured in the opening of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” this ‘70s hit recorded by Electric Light Orchestra has a timeless feel and sounds great with a marching band!
