Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is a comprehensive guide to the creating of football band shows, with several chapters dealing with every phase of producing your own intermission presentations. The importance of interesting productions cannot be overlooked, since the marching season not only consumes one-fifth of a year's activity, but it presents, at each game, the opportunity to perform before large audiences. These audiences are the largest that a band will play for all year. . . The purpose of this book is to help the director field a better-sounding and looking band. It gives suggestions on how to create shows and obtain the ideas from which to work up to a new, strong type of show. The book will also show how to utilize time and effort in a step-by-step plan, which will lead to a stronger band, and it will enrich teaching in the instrumental program."--Page 5.
