The Dynamic Marching Band » (New Edition)

The Dynamic Marching Band is designed to provide information and stimulate thought and further study on the exciting world of the contemporary high school marching band. The target audience is the college music education major preparing to be a band director and the young director already "in the field." Veteran directors will likely find new information and new ways of thinking about the activity and perhaps get a dose of motivation and renewed vigor.

This is not a book to be read and then put on the shelf, but rather it is one that will serve as an ongoing reference to be tapped time-and-time again; keep it within close reach."
