While much of its original orchestration remains, Arthur Pryor's Gridiron March has been heavily
revised in this edition not only to account for parts that have been lost, but also to update it for the
modern concert band setting as opposed to that of the turn of the 20th century when it was written.
1st time/2nd time differentiations in the repeated strains have been added to not only provide color
as the piece repeats, but also helps to emphasize the melodic lines before the counterpoints or fast
woodwind parts take focus.
