The elements of nature are the most fundamental building blocks of our world’s beautiful existence. This show explores four of these elements: earth, water, fire, and air, using original music in outstanding orchestrations that will make your group sound the best it ever has!

1. Earth
Professional quality samples introduce the earth, and are immediately followed by beautiful flute and trumpet solos depicting the simplicity of the world. Melodies climb to an incredible impact to kick off the show. Energy picks up as driving rhythms and accessible technique features for each section take us on a journey around the earth.

2. Water
An impressive percussion transition and beautiful rain samples lead us into an exploration of water, including a gorgeous soaring flute solo. A lyrical woodwind feature and wind represents the rise and fall of the ocean waves, with the full wind section layering in after, building to a gorgeous, flowing impact.

3. Fire
This movement will show off your percussion section, with theatrical sound design and impressive features for all battery and front ensemble sections. The intensity of this movement is sure to get a huge reaction from the audience and judges, and will light up the field!

4. Air
The most essential element, the “air” movement begins by giving the listener a sense of floating through the sky. Driving and climbing melodies lead to one lush ensemble melodic moment after another, all building to a final impact as all the elements are tied together to show nature’s beauty.
