Composer John Edmondson brings us Blue Angels Overture, capturing the excitement and daring of the U.S. Navy’s precision flight demonstration squadron. A stately march in 6/8 opens the work, followed by a lyrical section featuring a trumpet solo. For the finale, John Edmondson transforms the soaring melody from the 6/8 march into a majestic 4/4. Commissioned by the Wilson Junior High in El Centro, California, where the Blue Angels practice in the summer months, this moving tribute to the U.S. Navy precision flying team will be a thrilling addition to your next program.
