The Kaneland marches:
The Village of Maple Park
The Village of Kaneville
The Village of Sugar Grove
The Village of Elburn

This march opens with an introduction by the full band which then winds down to the first theme presented by the woodwinds. The full band then picks up this theme with a strong counter-melody by the tenor- and baritone-voice instruments.

The bass voices then play a theme with a rhythmic accompaniment by the trumpets and horns, which repeats, adding a piccolo part.

A brief dogfight section builds into the original theme with counter-melody by the full band at a mezzo volume for the first half, then fortissimo, with a stinger at the end.

This piece could be used for marching by omitting the oboe, bassoon, bass clarinet, and tympani parts.
