Special Requests
Grant primarily composes and arranges for the winds and brass. He works with a phenominal percussion arranger to write the battery and pit parts, however, you can purchase just the winds and brass and hire your own percussion arranger due to the unique needs of each band's percussion section. More discussion can be done regarding percussion.
