Scott Lang's Sound Leadership: Workbook is a popular choice for developing fundamentals. Doug Adams' arrangement of Shout It Out (from Drumline) and Nick Baratta's Ghostbusters provide high-engagement material that works across skill levels.

Composer & Author Spotlight

Mike Story has become essential for marching programs seeking sectional materials. His Championship Sports Pak approach gives each instrument family focused content, making it straightforward to assign targeted work across your band.

Nick Baratta spent two decades at West Genesee Central Schools directing marching band, junior high band, and percussion ensembles while teaching all percussion students grades 6–12. That background shows in arrangements like Ghostbusters, which balance accessibility with the engagement young musicians need.

Doug Adams' work on pop and film material, including Shout It Out from Drumline, has made him a go-to for programs wanting recognizable repertoire that works for developing ensembles.
