Air Base March is a tribute to Maj. Frank H. Blakey and the men of the 305th Airdrome Squadron, who served during World War II. The squadron was tasked with establishing and maintaining air bases in the jungles of New Guinea and the Philippine Islands. This piece honors their bravery and sacrifices, particularly the memory of Maj. Blakey, who was killed in action in 1944. The march emphasizes dynamics, careful attention to eighth-note rests, and distinctive sections, including a bugle call and a final powerful conclusion. Through this composition, the memory of the men who served is kept alive.
