Black Jack - Johan Evenepoel
Cacak - Paul Dzon (fragment)
Spetterend Oost-Europees vertier met uitgebreid orkestslagwerk en als optie uitvoering samen met een percussiegroep.
Circe - Kevin Houben
Domus - Jan Van der Roost 
Domus begint met een prachtige koraalmelodie in het saxofoonregister, gevolgd door een uitvoeriger geïnstrumenteerde versie. Daarna wordt het melodische materiaal gevarieerder -
met een paar verrassende harmonische wendingen. Aansluitend komt een pittig allegro aan bod met beurtelings speelse en melodische thema's, die vooral in de saxhoorns te horen zijn.
Een contrapuntisch uitgewerkte passage - door de volledige saxofoongroep naar voren gebracht - bereidt de luisterrijke apotheose voor, waarbij de koraalmelodie wordt aangevuld met het allegro-thema.
Gallito - Santiago Lope
God Save the 'Queen' - arr. Carlos Marques
Deze medley met muziek van Queen bevat: I want to break free, We Will rock you, Bohemian Rhapsody en Don't stop me now.

Good Friends - Ennia Salvere (fragment)
Bestaat uit: Good Friends, Lonely Bird, Rock-a-ChaCha, Spring Song
Naast "Happy Hour" en "Adventure Games" schreef Ennio Salvere ook deze mooie suite voor jeugdorkest.
Eerst is er de pittige mars "Good Friends" gevolgd door een lyrische ballade "Lonely Bird" met een licht swingende begeleiding.
Het meer exotische derde deel "Rock-A-Chacha" vormt een mooi contrast, terwijl het slotdeel "Spring Song" iedereen met een lekkere beat de dansvloer opjaagt.
Ervaren dirigenten zullen hierin de onderlegde specialist herkennen.
Hobson's Choice - Andreas L. Schulte (fragment)
La guerre oubliée
Pilatus: Mountains of Dragons
This programmatic tone poem for Symphonic Band opens as Mount Pilatus slumbers at night, shrouded in darkness and mystery among the clouds high above
Lucerne. As dawn breaks, a band of courageous adventurers climb Pilatus in search of dragons to slay.
After an arduous journey filled with breathtaking views and terrestrial beauty, the adventurers finally stumble across a dragon lair.
They awaken the mighty dragon who must now battle the intruders of his domain. All but one adventurer are mortally wounded leaving the pitiful human
to beg for mercy and forgiveness from the dragon. Demonstrating great compassion, the dragon produces a magical stone, called draconite, from his own
wounds in order to heal and save the intruders. In doing so, the dragon has also placed compassion and tolerance in the hearts and minds of man
leading them to a happy and peaceful coexistence with the dragons of Pilatus.

Time remembered - Philip Sparke
Time Remembered was commissioned by the Woking Wind Orchestra with support from the British Association of Symphonic Bands and Wind Ensembles (BASBWE).
The initial idea was for a millennium piece, which it is.
But rather than add to the many celebratory pieces that have understandably been written to salute the 3rd Millennium,
Philip Sparke thought it would perhaps be appropriate to think about the aspects of life that are constantly with us (faith, philosophy - whatever you like to call it)
rather than the exciting changes that the year 2000 has undeniably wrought.
The aim was to write a piece which reflects on those things we all need to hold on to, no matter how many changes take place around us and to acknowledge the necessity not to forget our past while looking forward to the future.
A solo alto saxophone opens the work, soon joined by a tenor saxophone.
A climax is quickly reached before the first significant theme is presented by a flute.
The music pushes on until a rich chorale-like theme appears on the lower half of the band, soon to be taken up by the full band.
This is followed by some quieter moments, culminating in a short passage for unaccompanied clarinet.
The main theme then reappears on oboe and alto saxophone but is interrupted by earlier material from the piece.
The opening music returns, but is more resolute than before and it brings the work to a peaceful close.
