Centennial March (concert band) Steve Hodges

CHALLENGER

This march begins with the clarinets presenting the melody over a single snare drum accompaniment. The textures increase as the melody develops, leading to a heavier minor section featuring strong lines by the low brass and woodwinds. A roll-off by the percussion leads to a seamless modulation and the final presentation of the melody. A dynamic augmentation of the melody brings the march to a stirring conclusion.
