ABOUT THIS ARRANGEMENT
Mt. Wrightson March began as a sketch of the mountain taken in Green Valley, AZ. The opening Mannheim rocket follows the contour of the mountain as it pierces the skyline. The tallest peak in its range, Mt. Wrightson is home to an observatory which is famous for helping discover liquid water on Mars.
We hope you enjoy this exciting pasodoble!
