Tormod Brufladt

Honor to the Veterans

The march 'Honour to the Veterans' was the composers third composition ever. He sent this march to Kjell Martinsen, who was the conductor of The Kings Guards Band in Norway. He liked the march so much that it was included on the CD which was released in connection with the bands 150 years anniversary.
The march is not very difficult. There is a variety of melody lines in the march that differs from many other marches, especially the piccolo flute solo makes it a little bit special. The march is also playable for bands lacking a piccolo flute player, because the melody line in this part of the march is well taken care of.
