Boys of the Old Brigade Flex Ensemble

The Boys of the Old Brigade is a well-known march by W. Paris chambers, who was known as one of America’s great bandmasters. Chambers was also a famous cornet soloist, as well as a composer of outstanding military marches. Claude T. Smith worked diligently to preserve the intention of the original with his edition. This flexible arrangement allows ensembles to perform the work with as few as ten musicians providing accessibility and flexibility for numerous instrumentation needs, while still allowing a full ensemble sound.
