I started teaching band at a Christian school this last school year and one of the things that disappointed me was the lack of Christian music for pep band. obviously it’s hard to touch staples like “Go Big Red” but there’s so many Christian songs that go just as hard as Iron Man. The only band it’s easy to find arrangements for is Skillet.

so, I’ve set myself a goal of fixing the problem by writing some myself. First off, they have to be songs that kids are singing, and second they have to have that stadium rock energy that translates well to a drumline and horns.

I’ve got a little playlist going right now of songs I think would work, but I wonder if anyone here has some cool songs that you think might sound awesome at a football game!

Can anyone point me to a scope and sequence for band that’s tied to national or Florida standards? only thing I’ve found is a 2012 document from New York that looks like what I need, which covers 5th-12th. I’d love to have others to compare and draw from while I work on my own.

I teach private Christian school, so I have no network, and no collective framework to draw from. Bonus plug: if you teach in the Hillsborough area at a Christian school I’d love to connect!
