More about this title
About the Composer: Mike Story
Mike Story is a composer and arranger with a distinctive gift for writing accessible marching band music that doesn't sacrifice impact or musicality. His work across the Big and Easy series demonstrates a deep understanding of what makes a band sound confident and polished, regardless of experience level or size.
Why we love this
El Zorro delivers exactly what its title promises: swagger and presence. The scoring is engineered to fill the field and the stands without requiring weeks of rehearsal, which means your students can perform something that sounds genuinely impressive from the first run-through.
What to expect
Latin energy with a theatrical flair. The piece captures that swashbuckling character without ever feeling campy, and the orchestration gives every section a moment to shine while maintaining constant forward propulsion.
Who it's for
Marching bands at all experience levels benefit from this opener. Whether you're leading a competitive ensemble, a high school band, or a community group, El Zorro works because it sounds far more complex than it actually is.
How to get the most out of it
- Nail the characteristic rhythmic figures in the opening statement. These drive the entire piece, so lock them in early and use them as an anchor for everything that follows.
- Balance the inner voices carefully during ensemble passages. With such bold overall scoring, it's easy for inner parts to disappear; a light touch in rehearsal on blend and balance pays dividends.
- Keep the tempo steady and confident. This piece thrives on forward momentum and a strong downbeat presence.
How to use it
Use this as your opening number at competitions, football games, or concert performances. The piece establishes command and confidence immediately, setting the tone for whatever follows and giving your band a strong psychological advantage right out of the gate.
Skills your students will build
- Executing driving rhythmic figures with precision and clarity
- Balancing ensemble texture while maintaining individual voice definition
- Sustaining energetic phrasing across longer musical phrases
- Responding to characteristic Latin articulation and rhythmic subdivision
