About the Arranger: Mike Story

Mike Story has established himself as a trusted arranger for marching arts ensembles, with a particular gift for translating contemporary media into accessible, performance-ready scores. His arrangements balance musical authenticity with practical pedagogy, ensuring that groups at all levels can execute material that sounds sophisticated and engaging.

Why we love this

Story captures the cinematic sweep of these World of Warcraft themes without overcomplicating them for Grade 2 players. The optional trumpet solo gives your strongest players a moment to shine while keeping the arrangement manageable for the full ensemble, and the structural arc from contemplative to triumphant gives you a halftime show that builds genuine momentum.

What to expect

The piece opens with a soaring, almost ethereal quality as the "Mountains of Thunder" theme unfolds, inviting listeners into a vast fantasy landscape. Then it pivots decisively into heroic, driving energy with the "Wrath of the Lich King" theme, creating a satisfying arc from introspection to triumphant action.

Who it's for

Marching bands at the Grade 2 level looking for contemporary, visually engaging halftime repertoire that connects with student interests and modern audiences. This arrangement works especially well for programs that want to program video game music without sacrificing musical credibility or accessibility.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the opening "Mountains of Thunder" section with dynamic restraint; the beauty lies in clarity and control rather than volume. Let the optional trumpet soloist breathe naturally and bloom without drowning out the harmonic support underneath.
  • Mark the transition into "Wrath of the Lich King" with a clear gesture. The shift from reflective to heroic is the narrative heart of the arrangement, so rehearse that moment deliberately and let the energy lift without rushing the tempo.
  • Balance the inner voices carefully throughout. With 228 pages of parts, intonation and voice leading will define whether this arrangement sparkles or muddies. Spend rehearsal time on exposed harmonies in the middle register.

How to use it

Use this as your closing halftime show or as the anchor of a thematic program celebrating modern media. The 2:31 runtime fits standard halftime windows, and the Grade 2 accessibility means you can program it early in the season and refine it thoroughly, allowing visual design to shine without compromising musical execution.

Skills your students will build

  • Phrasing across extended dynamic arcs (soft to loud to powerful)
  • Balancing ensemble sound with optional solo features
  • Navigating tempo transitions and thematic shifts
  • Reading contemporary film/game music notation and style conventions
