Disclaimer - I do not own this piece of music I am hear to show it to people.
Olympiada was written in 1996 (rescored in 2002) to capture the human conditions of intense glory and pain that only the Olympic Games can inspire, while musically tying themes with a historic Greek feel to modern harmonies and melodies. Openig with an Olympic-style brass fanfare to set the tone, this impressive work quickly breaks into a variety of themes and settings representing athletic struggle before recapitulating the fanfare at the end. (4:40)

This is such an emotional piece, especially for my band, This was my last year and this was the last song at the concert that we played and for years it had been our opener for marching shows, specifically the very ending. I bawled, I and many other people whose it was their last time, music is a really extraordinary thing.

My marching band played this as our closer in 2014. Our school as bagpipes and hearing them playing this towards the end still gives me chills. Obviously the pipe instructor wrote a part for them cause it's not in the original version.

As a member of the color guard, I am required to be enrolled in band. Marching season is over so our band Director moved me from guard to percussion. (We are a band of about 25 people and we didn’t have enough percussion members).I have never been in band before... and she hands us this piece to sight read 😂 it’s a great piece, but incredibly intimidating for a newbie.

I think this was the last piece I played in high school band. The underclassmen in the top couple bands performed at commencement, and then we graduates joined them to play what I think was this piece (it's been 16 years so I'm not 100% certain).
