This short fanfare is meant to encapsulate the joy and playfulness of summer.  Children playing baseball, concerts in a park, marching bands at a parade, fireworks, and all of the other simple joys of summer were inspiration for this work.

Commissioned by the St. Marys Community Band (Dane Newlove, conductor) this fanfare premiered in the summer of 2015.  After 20 years of arranging for marching bands the composer is glad to have accepted this composition from his good friend Dane Newlove.  This is the first original composition for Mr. Sloan.
