Music That Shouldn't Exist - An American Elegy By Frank Ticheli
An American Elegy by Frank Ticheli is, above all, an expression of hope. It was written for the Columbine HS Band to commemorate the worst day in most of the kids' lives.

For Some Kids In Connecticut, and the rest of us.
An American Elegy was commissioned by the Columbine Commissioning Fund,
a special project sponsored by the Alpha Iota Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi at the University of Colorado on behalf of the Columbine High School Band. Contributors to the Fund included members, chapters, alumni, and friends of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma National Honorary Band Fraternity and Sorority.
The work received its premiere performance by the Columbine High School Band, William Biskup, Director, Frank Ticheli, guest conductor, on April 23, 2000. Its premiere served as the centerpiece of a special commemorative concert given by the Columbine High School Band in conjunction with the University of Colorado Wind Symphony, held at Macky Hall in Boulder, Colorado.
