Brandon Nelson - To New Horizons! (concert band) [score video]

think we're all aware of local band programs that take on a certain legendary quality over the years. In my area, one such program is that at
Kingsford High School (Kingsford, MI). For many years, under the leadership of Ben Sherk, the KHS Bands attained a very high level of musicianship
and, in the case of the marching band, showmanship. The whole community fell in love with its unique band program.

Of course, one person can't keep going forever, and so, at the beginning of the 2022 school year, Mr. Sherk handed over his baton to Jacob Barnby. It's always a formidable challenge to "fill the shoes" in a legendary program, but through intelligence, determination, and lots of community of support, Mr. Barnby has successfully begun a new chapter for Kingsford.

With this piece, I want to both honor the incredible legacy of Mr. Sherk and to wish Mr. Barnby and the whole Kingsford community many continued years of great music making!

Onward to new horizons!
