All our arrangements are by Jari Villanueva, a former member of the Air Force, where he served for 23 years with the United States Air Force Band in Washington, DC. During his time in the band, he held various roles, including trumpeter, bugler, assistant drum major, staff arranger, and music copyist. He is regarded as the country’s foremost expert on military bugle calls, particularly the call of Taps, which is played at military funerals.

Julius Ernest Wilhelm Fučík (July 18, 1872 – September 25, 1916) was a Czech composer and conductor of military bands. He became a prolific composer, with over 400 marches, polkas, and waltzes to his name. As most of his work was for military bands, he is sometimes known as the "Bohemian Sousa".
Today his marches are still played as patriotic music in the Czech Republic. His worldwide reputation rests primarily on two works: "The Florentiner March", popular throughout much of Europe, and the "Entrance of the Gladiators" which is widely recognized, often under the title "Thunder and Blazes", as one of the most popular theme tunes for circus clowns.
