Subtitled "Strive for the Highest," this uplifting work was commissioned by the Southeast District of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma. Haunting woodwind solos are punctuated by the brass and percussion sections and consistent with Mr. Smith's work, each section contributes to the musical energy. Driving and aggressive, your audience will burst with excitement.
