Description
Powerful unisons open this piece and continue as the trumpets state the heroic melody. A countermelody is then placed over this in the woodwinds. Alternating between marcato and legato sections, this is a good piece for teaching contrasting styles. Students will love the minor key and the power of playing tutti. A great opener for your fall concert. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

I play the saxophone and my favorite part is our solo with the clarinets

I play this at school and whenever the director says "alright everyone pull out Alpha Squadron" there's always a resounding cheer because everyone loves playing it. It's by far one of my favorite pieces to play, and I personally like it so much I'm considering using it for the national anthem of my Minecraft server in the future. (When I make one of course)

I played this 2 years ago and I found my old band folder from when I played saxophone so I'm listening to all of them. I can say, this one is a certified banger.
