October is a great work. I'm not sure it's a "standard" yet (composed 2002?). It definitely will be someday. One of the best modern band works ever. Especially under a really good conductor.

How can you say this?? This piece is amazing and the tuba part kicks butt, in the middle, where the whole low brass plays that awesome hammering melody. So good... ah i love that piece. I think this piece will become a "Future Band Standard"
I got to hear this really cool piece called Poema Alpestre. UNT performed it at TMEA. I believe that will be if it isn't a standard. Highly recommended..
