Attack of the Fifty Foot Trombones

For trombone octet and percussion, Attack of the Fifty Foot Trombones defies the empirical laws of physics to answer the age-old question: how loud can a room of eight trombonists and three percussionists get?

What started as a love letter to monster movies and creature features in 2023 gradually evolved over time into the beast of a piece it is today. Premiered by the Arkansas State University Trombone Choir at the 2026 Big 12 Trombone Conference on the campus of Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX, Attack of the Fifty Foot Trombones spotlights your trombones in a hellaciously huge and hulking manner sure to delight everybody who brought their ear plugs.
