I absolutely love playing this arrangement of Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero" with our community marching band. Matt Conaway did a fantastic job capturing the rock anthem feel. The Grade 3-4 difficulty is a nice challenge, but totally doable for a weekend player like me. It's so satisfying to be part of that dramatic sound; it really gets everyone hyped!
