About This Collection
Description
Concert band directors building a festival season repertoire will find substantial options here across grades 1 through 4. The collection spans programmatic works, masterwork arrangements, multicultural selections, and patriotic pieces, with many titles approved for Texas UIL, NYSSMA, and Federation Festivals. You'll find both accessible entry points like Robert W. Smith's The Tempest (Grade 1) and more challenging material for advanced ensembles.
Highlights
Teachers keep coming back to Arabian Dances by Roland Barrett and Tripwire by JaRod Hall, both Grade 2 pieces that balance musicality with reasonable instrumentation demands. Robert W. Smith's The Great Locomotive Chase and Brian Balmages' Wings to the Mind round out the most frequently adopted titles in this collection.
Recently added
Recent releases include Adirondack Park by Ryan Fraley, Futurescape by Todd Stalter, TRACK OF TITANS/MDB by Brian Balmages, and Bright Horizon by Scott Watson, all arriving in 2026.
Composer & Author Spotlight
Brian Balmages spans orchestral, band, and chamber music with equal fluency, and his work has reached stages from Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House. His composing pace and recognition from the American School Band Directors Association make him a reliable choice for festivals seeking polished, performance-ready material.
Robert W. Smith stands as one of America's most prolific band composers, with over 400 publications to his name. His technical training from Troy State and the University of Miami informs scores that balance accessibility with genuine musical substance, as heard in The Great Locomotive Chase.
William Owens brings practical classroom experience to his writing for young ensembles. A native of Gary, Indiana, and active clinician across North America, Owens has built a catalog of more than 300 titles since 1993 that consistently appear on required music lists nationwide.
