Me (Reaffirmation)

"Me (Reaffirmation)" represents another installment within the ongoing "unBroken Project". This poignant composition by Randall Standridge addresses the psychological impact of bullying on individuals. Drawing inspiration from his earlier piece, "Affirmation," Standridge crafts a soothing lullaby imbued with themes of solace, tranquility, and healing. With its vibrant and contemporary flair, this composition not only encourages emotional expression among musicians but also serves as a valuable tool for initiating discussions about the challenges faced by many young individuals. As the second installment of the Starfire series, this march introduces players to 6/8 rhythms while also serving as an excellent vehicle for teaching march style. Through its unconventional harmonies, accessible ranges, and dynamic effects, this captivating piece promises to both educate and entertain young performers (JW Pepper "Me (Reaffirmation).
