August 6, 20241 yr Good afternoon everyone, I hope everyone's Summer is going well. I don't post much here, but I'd like to share some concert marches I have written over the past few months. I haven't finalized them yet, so I am not providing the scores here. I just want to hear your thoughts on how they sound.

August 8, 20241 yr Hi @PfofPanama and welcome back to the forum! These are some wonderful marches you've shared with us! I think my favorite is the Fox Fullerton March - I live right next to Fullerton and have driven by the Fox Fullerton theater multiple times! Also a 2nd favorite is the University of California March which seems more animated and energetic than the other two. I've had an idea brewing in my head for combining the U.S. National Anthem with Poland's National Anthem in a "Polish American Heritage Anthem" which could easily be in this type of march format. Have you also considered combining or including already well known themes in your marches to give them an added popularity/nostalgia? Thanks for sharing!
August 9, 20241 yr These are great pieces. It is curious that in the area where I live (Mediterranean) there is a long tradition of marching bands, with a very similar sound. Here what is most often heard are Pasodobles, but they are very similar to what you have written. The third one (University of California March) could work perfectly here. Cheers.
