About this arrangement

Marching Band - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1266023 By Metallica. By Cliff Burton, James Hetfield, and Lars Ulrich. Arranged by Jason Sullivann. Contest,Festival,March,Rock. Score and Parts. 117 pages. Green Bicycle Music #858759. Published by Green Bicycle Music (A0.1266023). For Advanced Marching band, Level 4-5. The concept of creating a Marching Band arrangement for a Metallica song actually had occurred to me several years ago. The announcement of the official competition spurred me to action, and Hey, Guess What? I still missed the deadline. Perhaps an underachiever of the Metallica Family, but a member nonetheless.  The arrangement is based on my Piano version of ORION (available on this site, of course). It follows the original closely, with some embellishments added.  Some of the soli playing is more challenging than many arrangements. The mood is more of a Concert piece for Marching Band, with plenty of energy, but more musical complexity. The PDF has been improved and replaced. The score is on Tabloid (11x17") size paper and the parts are on Letter (8.5x11") size. The parts will need to be trimmed for use. I believe it justly expresses the power of Metallica's music. This is not eligible for the 2023 competition. First: your group could play it anyway. Second: I will be on a quest to have it added for next year's version.  I anticipate this year's competition will go very well.  This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
