St. Cloud Municipal Band performing Elegy for a Young American composed by Ronald LoPresti at Ritsche Auditorium in Stewart Hall at St. Cloud State University. Glen Tuomaala, Director. www.municipalband.com
We try to program one or two works every year that stretch the band (like premiers). This was clearly that kind of piece, but it was really, really good for the growth of the musicians.
I love this song. My school plays it. It is a buetiful arrangement to a buetiful person, and your band dose it justice.

Thank you for your kind words.

Plus, it seems as if fewer bands play it anymore!
