  I'm Shawn Campbell and am a member of the US Air Force Band of the Pacific 
stationed in Anchorage, Alaska.  I play trombone and euphonium in the brass 
quintet and the marching band.  My only experience with brass bands is 
through recordings and playing with a Salvation Army Brass Band when 
visiting one of their larger churches.  I hope you would kindly read on and 
respond to the request below.  If not, thanks for reading my 
self-introduction and am looking forward to the messages on the list....

Our squadron is a field band that has one detachment here and another 
assigned to Yakota AFB, Japan.  We are 30 members, but the marching band is 
16 strong.  Our repertoire for marching band performances could use an 
infusion of march titles that would compliment our instrumentation.  If you 
could, please take a moment and respond with your opinion about which 
marches are appealing to audiences from the brass band literature.  We are 
accomplished performers and technical demands of the music don't need to 
limit your suggestions. Having title, composer/arranger and the publisher 
would be invaluable, however, I'll take whatever you can offer.

  Our instrumentation is:
   4 trumpets, 1 horn, 3 trombones, euphonium(me!), tuba, 3 percussion

In addition, we have 2 alto saxes and 1 tenor who can transpose anything....

Thanks for your time and consideration for responding publicly on the list 
or to me privately.

Shawn Campbell, SSgt
US AIr Force Band of the Pacific
