A 2024 entrant in the Arrange Me ‘Metallica for Marching Band’ Competition, this clever, fun (and very, VERY catchy!) arrangement of Metallica’s ‘Fade To Black’ by Kara Williams has been completely reimagined in an Afro-Cuban “Guaguanco” style groove with Metallica’s distinctive vocal and guitar lines shining through. With fantastic rhythmic teaching points throughout, this chart also has scoring flexibility making it accessible for a range larger and smaller ensembles – including wind ensemble settings. Percussion parts can be customised to suit available ensemble players/instruments, and non-core marching band wind-player parts (see front cover) are provided. Whilst important tonal colours, the Horn in F part can be optional as it is covered by saxes/trombone, and mallets are optional. Director discretion can be applied to any of the piccolo/flute 8va-loco sections.
