John Williams: Movie Adventures
Sheet Music Book
By John Williams

So it was my last year in band and I begged and begged to do a John Williams song at our end of the year concert. My directors ended up choosing this piece and it was WONDERFUL. I honestly believe that they couldn't have chose something better. The whole...

band loved it, including myself. When I found out we were playing it, I just burst into tears.
