Contemporary Marching Band - Grade 3-4
This hit from the popular band OneRepublic adapts perfectly for marching/pep in this powerful arrangement by Matt Conaway. There's a wide range of dynamics, melody for the low brass, and a hard-hitting chorus for the full band. (Includes optional cut for shorter version)
