One moment…

This spirited concert march begins with a crisp melody and bold accompaniment. As it moves into the middle section, brass and woodwinds are featured separately, with percussion serving as a link between the two. Finally, the three groups combine to drive forward to an energetic, synergistic finish. Excellent for teaching march style with only 6 notes!

Don't just read it, hear it, play along with it, and watch your students grow with it. In MakeMusic Cloud, Synergy March: Concert Band Conductor Score & Parts comes alive with professional accompaniment, adjustable tempo, and built-in practice tools that turn solo practice into real progress.

About the Composer: William Owens

William Owens brings three decades of classroom experience to everything he writes. A VanderCook College of Music graduate and former Texas band director, he spent 30 years in the trenches understanding exactly what young ensembles need to succeed. His 300-plus compositions reflect that hard-won knowledge: music that teaches while it engages.

Recognized by ASCAP, the Texas Bandmasters Association, and his alma mater as a Distinguished Alumnus, Owens has become a fixture on state and national required music lists. His work appears in educational texts and serves as core repertoire in young band programs across North America. Now based in Fort Worth, he continues composing and clinicking while pursuing his passion for American history and fine automobiles.

Why we love this

Owens designed this march specifically for the absolute beginner, and it shows. Six notes means every student succeeds immediately, but the orchestration never feels thin or condescending. Watch your band discover that march style isn't about complexity; it's about articulation, balance, and the interplay between sections. That's a lesson worth teaching early and often.

What to expect

Bright and purposeful. The opening has snap and swagger, with enough orchestral detail to make the band sound polished. When the sections split and recombine, there's genuine musical drama, and by the final push, the group feels like they're actually pulling together to create something bigger than any single voice.

Who it's for

Beginning concert bands working with very young musicians or those early in their instrumental study. This works especially well for elementary bands, beginning middle school ensembles, or any group needing a morale-boosting win before tackling more demanding repertoire.

How to get the most out of it

Shape the opening melody with a slight swell into beat 3 of each phrase; your trumpets and clarinets will anchor the line if you give them something to shape, rather than play flat.
When brass and woodwinds trade sections in the middle, resist the urge to let volume drop. Clarity of color matters far more than dynamic contrast at this level.
Keep the percussion active but listen through them. The tambourine and snare should feel like they're stitching sections together, not announcing themselves.
Lock the final ensemble passage with a conductor's pulse that's absolutely steady. The energy should come from confidence in the tempo, not rushing.

How to use it

Open a winter or spring concert with this. Its brevity and immediate impact make it perfect for settling an audience and building momentum before larger works. You might also pair it back-to-back with a contrasting lyrical selection to show your band's range in a single program.
