Program Notes
As you might guess from the title, this is a driving composition that provides many opportunities for musicians to showcase their technical skills. The introduction and first section of the piece are highly rhythmic and intense. The second section is a bit smoother but should still maintain the drive of the preceding passage.

It is always a challenge to write music that is engaging to play (and to hear) while remaining practical for young musicians. It is my sincere hope that I have achieved that lofty goal with this piece.
