 
Bret Kuhn's approach to arranging is progressive and the on forefront of concepts. He has a unique ability to write for all ages and abilities which allow you to involve each student according to their individual talents.
There are several different options you can choose from in commissioning or purchasing music from Bret. Bret collaborates with Drew Shanefield in his compositions (unless otherwise noted). Bret provides full scoring for the entire percussion ensemble at the highest level and to fit the technical needs of your ensemble.
Marching Band compositions and arrangements fall into one of several categories:
- Commissions for original marching band compositions for your ensemble.
- Purchasing a pre-existing original marching band composition.
- Commissioning an arrangement of repertoire that is already composed and copy written.
- Purchasing a pre-existing marching band arrangement.
If you are not commissioning or purchasing an original marching band composition, you must obtain copyright permission for all music (that is not Public Domain) you wish to have arranged. To expedite this process I recommend going through Jeni Paulson at copycatlicensing.com.
The following are arrangements that are available for purchase either as is, or that can be arranged to meet your design needs. For information on purchasing or arranging this music, or developing an original piece for your group, please e-mail Bret. Continue to check back with us as we are continually adding music to this site.
