I remember playing this in concert band my senior year of high school some 30+ years ago. I played the trumpet part and the euphonium in another performance. Also that same year, I got to perform this with the West Virginia University Honors Band playing trumpet!!!

I performed percussion for the premiere of this song about 30 years ago with James Swearingen conducting while I was a member of the Massachusetts Youth Wind Ensemble (MYWE). Somewhere in my basement I have a copy of the performance on vinyl.

Playin this in a few weeks for everyone and their parents at my school. I'm a saxophone so you can't really hear my part but it's an important part trust me

I love how similar this is to Exaltation. Exaltation is my favorite James Swearingen song.

Beginning sounds like Anthem for Winds and Percussion

We're playing this for my former band teacher's retirement.

[@zandergrier1302]

the other sections failed so the baritones tubas and trombones had to play their parts for them.
