Original Composition
The Deep is a four-part marching band production that journeys beneath the ocean’s surface into a world of mystery, motion, darkness, and light. From the first breath before the dive to the crushing stillness of the trench, the show explores the awe and danger of descending into the unknown.
As the surface disappears and the currents take hold, performers are pulled deeper into an unfamiliar world where beauty and fear coexist. In the final movement, the darkness gives way to bioluminescent light, revealing a breathtaking world hidden far below. The Deep is a cinematic exploration of wonder, pressure, discovery, and the light that survives even in the darkest places.

Note Regarding Percussion Parts/Sounds
Most percussion sounds in my marching shows are meant to represent “percussion goes here” - I’m not a marching percussion writer…they are just a sketch.
I will work with your percussion arranger or help you find one!
