Newly transcribed for brass band and percussion by John Smith, this rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner is just as celebratory and dramatic as the original. The previous arrangement for brass ensemble and percussion by Sean O'Loughlin has become a favorite of both the Oregon Symphony and Baltimore Symphony brass players, being played at sporting events including Portland Trailblazers NBA basketball games, Baltimore Orioles baseball games, and Baltimore Ravens football games. With fanfare flourishes and colorful touches, this grand arrangement gives each section an opportunity to play the melody, making for a truly dynamic experience.
