THE BANDWAGON CB3 SC/PTS

Tokyo band director and radio presenter Yutaka Nishida has long been a friend of composer Philip Sparke. In addition to conducting and teaching, Yutaka presents a weekly two-hour music program called “The Bandwagon” on the Japanese national radio station Digital Radio Musicbird. DRM commissioned Philip Sparke to write a march that could be used as a theme for the program, and the result is this bright and breezy march in simple ABA form.
