Marching Band Production
Paper Wings
All shows can be adjusted, expanded, or simplified to fit your ensemble.
Paper Wings transforms an ordinary afternoon recess into a world of possibility. This original Grade 2–3 marching band production follows a child whose handmade wings become the spark for a joyful adventure powered by imagination, curiosity, and the courage to try.
In When the Bell Rings, the playground comes alive and a new adventure begins. Higher Than the Swings reaches upward with energy and confidence before The Weight of Gravity reveals the disappointment and vulnerability that come when imagination meets reality. Learning to Fly returns with renewed determination as the child discovers that flight begins with believing, persevering, and trying again.
Featuring entirely original music, bright rhythmic writing, warm lyrical moments, and clear opportunities for playful visual design, Paper Wings is ideal for developing ensembles seeking an uplifting Grade 2–3 marching band show with an imaginative concept and no source-music licensing requirements.

Note Regarding Percussion Parts/Sounds
The percussion heard in these recordings is included only as a temporary placeholder for playback to suggest pacing, energy, and overall effect. It is not intended to represent a finished battery or front ensemble arrangement, and written percussion parts are not included with this show. Each ensemble should work with its own percussion arranger to create parts that fit its students, instrumentation, visual design, and competitive goals.
