A Little Sousa for Yousa
By: Brad Schoener
Think of “Stars & Stripes Forever” and you know the flavor of this up-tempo march that features great melodies, a ‘dogfight’ section, and an optional piccolo/flute solo/soli at the finish! It was one of the students’ favorites at the PMEA District Intermediate Band Festival where it premiered in March 2003.

The Garden Spot Galop
By: Brad Schoener
This barn burner sounds harder than it reads! Written for a grade 5-6 band festival held at Garden Spot High School in the Eastern Lancaster County School District, it depicts the feeling of the busy drive from Philadelphia to the country. The breakneck pace of the city gives way to the simple melodies of an open-air marketplace. While listening to the “clip-clop” of Amish buggies, we hear a hymn in the distance then ZOOM, it’s back to the city!!

Stars Over America - Concert Band Only
By: Brad Schoener
This well-crafted piece cleverly blends the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine service hymns with “America the Beautiful”. It snaps back to attention with a trio from the “Stars & Stripes Forever” featuring the piccolo solo in the key of “F”. Optional string parts are available. Brilliant as a concert closer.
