Why we love this

Ryan Meeboer writes for brass ensembles with real understanding of what players want to hear and feel. Big V is a straightforward win: it's energetic and accessible without sacrificing musicianship, and the optional rhythm section means you can shape the piece to match what your ensemble has available.

What to expect

Driving and celebratory. The high energy and consistent rhythmic pulse create a sense of propulsion that feels both accessible and thoroughly modern. There's joy in the execution here, especially when the eight voices lock together at full volume.

Who it's for

Trumpet ensembles at the high school or community college level looking for a rock-influenced chart that demands technical chops without requiring a large instrumentation. The piece fits programs seeking contemporary brass writing that stays engaging for both players and audiences.

How to get the most out of it

Lock the articulation in the opening figures across all eight trumpets. Consistency here makes the hook memorable and sets up everything that follows.
Balance the trumpet and flugelhorn sections carefully during unison passages. The flugels will naturally sit behind; push them slightly in the mix during ensemble hits.
Keep the tempo steady and driving. This piece lives on momentum, so resist the urge to slow down during busier passages.
If using the optional rhythm section, let the drums and bass establish the groove first in rehearsal before layering the full horn sound on top.

How to use it

Place this as a concert closer or second-to-last selection where the energy can carry through to the end of your program. It pairs well alongside more traditional brass repertoire, offering audiences a contemporary alternative without requiring them to adjust their expectations of what trumpet music can sound like.
