Marching Band Arrangements
“The marching band arrangements of Scott Boerma are second to none. They are the finest marching band arrangements I have heard, EVER.”
– H. Robert Reynolds
Former Director of Bands, University of Michigan
All arrangements of works not in the public domain will require that the band director request and receive permission to arrange from the copyright administrators of each tune/piece.
