Powerflex Folio for Marching/Pep Band: C Flute/C Piccolo Book

This folio solves a real logistical problem while delivering genuine musicality. By collecting 14 of the Powerplay series' strongest arrangements in a single flipfolio, Burns gives flute and piccolo players immediate access to the repertoire without requiring individual octavo management. The selection spans warm-ups, standards, pop hits, and fight songs, meaning you can build a complete rehearsal or performance without hunting across multiple books.

These arrangements capture the energy and accessibility of their original material while respecting the acoustic realities of the marching field. From the nostalgia of 'Colonel Bogey' and 'Sweet Georgia Brown' to the infectious groove of 'I Get Around' and 'Proud Mary,' the collection swings between familiar standards and crowd-pleasing rock and pop, creating natural variety in rehearsal and performance.

Marching band flute and piccolo players at the middle school through early high school level will find these arrangements sit in a sweet spot of playability and genuine musicality. Directors building or filling out marching band repertoire benefit from having trusted, field-tested material in one compact resource.

• Treat 'Air Conditioning' as genuine warm-up material; Burns designed these opening exercises to prepare the voice and establish intonation before moving to full arrangements.
• Balance the piccolo doubles in arrangements like 'The Victors' and 'Washington Post' so they reinforce rather than overpower the flute section.
• Use the service songs as reliable filler for ceremonies and special events without sacrificing musical quality.

Use this folio as your core marching repertoire for the season; the breadth of styles makes it suitable for everything from competition sets to pep band appearances. The inclusion of service songs and fight songs makes it particularly valuable for schools that perform at athletic events alongside their main marching show.

• Reading music in a marching band context with condensed score layout
• Playing sustained tones with tuning precision in outdoor acoustics
• Balancing blend between flute and piccolo doublings
• Interpreting stylistic variety (military march, rock, swing, pop)
