Flying Colors - Bb Trumpet 3

Imagine a band far off in the distance marching toward you soft at first, the music becomes louder and louder; the red capes of the band sway in the wind, getting closer and closer. It was this image that inspired "Flying Colors". Famed bandmaster Arthur Delamont always programmed a march in his concerts, and the hallmark of his band was their red capes. The work begins very softly with a distant snare drum beat. The trumpets enter quietly with the melody, and with each new melodic entry the music grows and intensifies to a roaring finish. This is a fresh new take on a march, and is sure to please players and audiences alike! "Flying Colors" is the third movement of "A Tribute to Arthur Delamont" and was commissioned by the West Vancouver Youth Band. Dur: 3:10
