Hey Graham,

I was in a similar position during my senior year of high scool - spring of '77. The piece I choose to conduct was Carmen Dragon's arrangement of America The Beautiful. It was originally arranged for Walt Disney's "Circle Vision 360" film titled (strangely enough) America, The Beautiful.

It has a big opening, a glorious, lush chorale section that modulates and then builds to a brass section fanfare ending that never fails to bring an audience to their feet. Oh, yeah… it's fun to conduct too. Every section of the band gets a chance to shine a little.

You've been given a lot of great suggestions here. Now, you must choose wisely.

Good luck!

Bob
