A fresh take on a Western theme, this show of original music displays the excitement and danger of the pony express riders as they tackled Indians, weather, terrain, and bandits in their quest to deliver letters across the Wild West.  Our show follows a letter from its inception through its dangerous journey on horseback, ending with a satisfying finale when the letter reaches its destination.  Great storytelling in a contemporary and sophisticated way from one of the activity’s best marching band arrangers.

Fee for the use of the music for the season:
