La Almeja Pequeña scoreThis upbeat latin arrangement is based on a big band piece from Gordon Goodwin. It is an adaptation of the SRO arrangement I had done previously.
Mary Had a Little Lamb (12-Tone)Vi Hart (/Vihart)130627Trombone Quartet Trombone, Bass TromboneTwelve Tone Mary scoreThis is just a straight transcription to trombone quartet from Vi Hart's Twelve Tones video - I thought it sounded so cool that I wanted to have a way to play it.
Winter Wrap UpDaniel Ingram120227Brass Quintet
Trumpet, French Horn, Trombone, Bass Trombone, Tuba
Winter Wrap Up scoreI arranged this for my quintet at RPI, the Brassholes (partly as joke, but it turned out decent). It's the main song from Season 1, Episode 11 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The relevant parts were chosen by the temperaments of the players - for instance, I'm Twilight Sparkle (the brainiac), one of the trumpets is Dash (the brash one), and the other trombone is Fluttershy (the shy and reserved one).

Prince AliAlan Menken120309Selected pep band instruments

Prince Ali ScoreAnother "prank" song for the RPI pep band. We had a piece called Billberger which I thought could segue perfectly into Prince Ali from Disney's Aladdin. So, everyone else cuts off, and we keep going with this.
