Description
Gazing into the sky, one may be overcome with the infinite possibilities of our worlds and, thus, ourselves. It is this sense of wonder and hope that has been captured in "Skygazer Fanfare." This work for concert band uses syncopated rhythms, layered percussion, and a sense of forward motion to create an exciting soundscape for young musicians. Careful attention has been paid to range and scoring to create a work that is attainable by smaller ensembles while retaining a full sound for larger ensembles as well. (2:20) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

I just got news that a student who just graduated a month ago passed away in an accident today. This was his favorite song we had played. Here's to you, "Grandma".

In 2019 we played this music piece. I was going through some playlists I made and I found this, so I said "I'll listen to it, why not?" So I started to listen to this and on my face a smile started to grow and I almost started to cry. This reminded me of all the good times I had in band that year and how everything was normal. I miss it.

I did this as a part 1 clarinet. It was amazing because I felt important for once.

I'm playing the Bari sax in this piece. I love this piece so much. It's also my band teacher's last concert before retirement. I'm glad I could have her. She's the best.

In 9th grade I got to play this piece and it became one of my favorites throughout high school. Now I get to play and teach it again to new students, and it still holds a special place in my memory. :)

I played this on snare back in 6th grade and it was my favorite song from that year (and the only one I can remember other than Tornado!! by someone I forget).

I play the bari sax for this and the poor flutes keep getting drowned out by me and the other bari, and I feel so bad for them.
