More about this title

About the Arranger: Tod Edmondson

Tod Edmondson has built a reputation for creating accessible arrangements that work in real performance settings. His work across multiple ensemble types demonstrates a keen understanding of what bands need: music that engages audiences, fits within rehearsal schedules, and doesn't compromise musical integrity for the sake of simplicity.

Why we love this

These arrangements hit the sweet spot between recognizability and playability. The 2.5 grade level means your entire band can execute them cleanly without sacrificing the iconic sound that makes audiences immediately connect. Including the 20th Century Fox Fanfare alongside modern sports themes gives you repertoire that works equally well for pep band energy or concert programming.

What to expect

Electric and immediately recognizable. The Fox themes carry the punch and swagger of broadcast television, with tight brass stabs and driving rhythms that energize a crowd. These are short, confident pieces that announce themselves and finish before overstaying their welcome.

Who it's for

Directors of Grade 2-3 marching bands, pep bands, and smaller programs seeking high-recognition repertoire that doesn't demand advanced technical facility. This collection is ideal for halftime shows, pep rallies, and concert contexts where audience connection matters as much as musical challenge.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the brass hits that carry the main themes; these ESPN fanfares rely on crisp articulation and unified dynamics to land their impact. Record a few run-throughs and listen for clarity in the signature moments.
  • Use the parts strategically for rehearsal efficiency. Since these are shorter arrangements, block out specific themes to work in sections, then string them together once each is secure.
  • Pay attention to the transition points between themes if you're programming multiple Fox themes in sequence. Edmondson has likely handled these musically, but a clean execution requires counting through any brief pauses or tempo shifts.
  • Leverage the familiarity factor. Your students already know these melodies; use that to accelerate their confidence and let them focus on blend, intonation, and marching fundamentals rather than deciphering new material.

How to use it

Perfect for pep band contexts where rapid set changes and audience familiarity are assets. You can also program individual themes throughout a concert season or pair them in a medley to bracket a show with contemporary energy. The 20th Century Fox Fanfare works particularly well as a closer or standalone opener.

Skills your students will build

  • Executing rhythmic precision in fanfare-style brass writing
  • Balancing melody and accompaniment in short, high-profile arrangements
  • Marching fundamentals synchronized to recognizable popular music
  • Sight-reading and quick turnaround on accessible contemporary arrangements
