More about this title

About the Arranger: Jerry Burns

Jerry Burns has built a reputation as a trusted arranger for marching and pep bands, with a catalog that prioritizes accessibility without sacrificing musicality. His work in the Powerplay series demonstrates a consistent ability to adapt familiar material in ways that serve ensemble development while keeping students engaged.

Why we love this

This folio delivers 14 crowd-pleasing arrangements in a single, field-ready volume that tuba players can actually manage without fumbling through loose pages. The mix of classics, standards, and recognizable pop material gives your low brass section repertoire that works equally well in pep band settings and full marching band contexts.

What to expect

A mix of classic Americana, swing grooves, and pop energy that keeps low brass engaged and visible. The arrangements sit comfortably in the tuba's natural range while offering moments where your part moves beyond pure foundation work.

Who it's for

Tuba players in marching bands and pep bands who need a durable, organized collection of material that covers both structured marching season requirements and flexible performance opportunities. This works whether you're in a competitive marching program or a community-oriented pep band.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock in with the baritone and euphonium voicings during the Service Songs sets; the arrangement relies on precision alignment in your section.
  • Attack "Colonel Bogey" with a clean articulation on the march feel to keep the rhythmic integrity crisp for the whole ensemble.
  • Balance your part carefully in "Reach Out, I'll Be There" so the melody doesn't get buried while you provide harmonic support.
  • Use the flip format strategically during rehearsal to isolate passages where tuba and percussion need to breathe together.

How to use it

Build your marching season repertoire around this single folio, mixing the Service Songs for patriotic events with pop standards for pre-game and halftime shows. The "Air Conditioning" section serves as a warm-up routine during early-season rehearsals.

Skills your students will build

  • Sustaining full-volume tone across extended phrases in outdoor acoustics
  • Sectional balance and blend with euphonium and baritone in moving arrangements
  • Quick page turns and transitions within a flipfolio format
  • Marching technique while maintaining steady harmonic support
