Well, I wouldn't exactly call it a march in any traditional sense, but it certainly seems like an entertaining piece for players and audience alike. With only the midi playback, it is hard to hear how you have scored it and to imagine how it would sound with live instruments instead. If you have it in a format for symphonic brass, I'd be interested in trying it with our ensemble; we are always interested in good new stuff. PM me if you do!

Nice piece - good fun. Our counting challenged timp player would NEVER get those last 2 bars right though

I can tell (as your profile says) that you are a "composer who loves to play the tuba". The bass line sounds like it would be a lot of fun to play. Very nicely done!

Unusual in designing,
Why pigeonhole it so?
A march is so confining
So very comme il faut.
Just call it by its title,
(I like that, by the way.)
Record it in recital
And sell it on eBay!

(I couldn't find a rhyme for it, but I think your second theme
is a great tune for a carousel organ!)

Hey, that's really cool. I'm still whistling it right now!

I really enjoyed your piece too. Where did you study composition?

Thank you all for the nice comments. I'm finnishing the score for full wind band.

Piccolo, flute, oboÃ©, basson, clarinets 1, 2 and 3, bass clarinet, Soprano sax, alto sax, tenor sax, baritone sax, trompets 1,2 and 3, French horns 1 and 2, trombones 1, 2 and 3 euphonium, tuba and percussion. Of course some of these instrumentas are optional.
