A "new" Golden Age march for brass quintet.

Scott Joplin wrote The Rosebud March for piano in 1905. He dedicated it to Tom Turpin, owner of the Rosebud Café, a favorite gathering place for the African-American community in St. Louis, Missouri. Joplin was by then an established composer of the piano rags with which his name remains associated. But he chose to honor his friend with a spirited march that sounds more like Sousa than Joplin.

This arrangement evokes the sound of John Philip Sousa's classic marches, as Joplin seems to have intended. It's an "intermediate-advanced" piece suitable for college, adult, and good high school players. Both trumpets go up to the C above the staff; the trombone goes up to the A above the staff. It makes an excellent concert curtain-raiser, finale, or encore.
