Reward your students while taking the audience on a thrilling sonic journey. Part fanfare and part overture, this work pays homage to the great festival works students have experienced for generations. It opens with a majestic brass fanfare complemented by colorful woodwinds and percussion. A variety of textural and stylistic presentations leads to the closing flourish that rises from the bottom of the sound canvas to the top for a final resplendent fanfare restatement.

This intense and volatile piece lights the fuse with a one-bar introduction that leads to and ignites the impact of the full band. A unifying four-note motif makes several expanded appearances. A brief period of calm is underpinned by a series of pulsating ostinati which maintain a constant state of agitation. In the explosive conclusion, the percussion section provides the last word with one final detonation.

Energetic and percussive, this dynamic fanfare is exciting for both listeners and performers. The memorable theme, high intensity, and fast tempo are the perfect elements needed to grab everyone's attention and announce that the performance has begun. Aptly titled, this fiery selection is certain to make a lasting impact at your next performance.
