Spirit Of Atlanta 2013

Super Anyone

"A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended."

A great message for both performers and audiences members.  A high energy program designed for and Open Class WGI percussion Ensemble.

Super Anyone

A creative Indoor Show using the idea of Silence to create unexpected effect.  A unique spin on Sonata Pathétique - Mvt. 2 - Adagio Cantabile, by Beethoven is used as a beautiful, yet driving opening!

Here is an arrangement I did of "Rather Be" (Clean Bandit). This is only the front ensemble parts. 

Rather Be - Front Ensemble

A quick combination of tracks highlighting my most recent works!  Most of these samples are original compositions by myself.  Projects also include combined work with Greg Tsalikis, Bryan Harmsen, and Doug Thrower.

If you're interested in having a custom arrangement for your ensemble, contact me (b.t.pyles@gamil.com)to check for pricing and availability for your upcoming season!

Be on the lookout for new posts of my 2016 projects!  Fresh beats on the way!

The Best samples of 2015!

A heavy dose of Electronics blended with modern day Front Ensemble and Battery sounds!  Just wait for the drop.  You won't hear many other ensembles sound like this on the field this year!
