CENTURIONS! is an extensive work for Symphonic Band, comprised of a medley of program music depicting a period in the life of an unspecified Centurion, or ancient soldier.

- Grand March of the Centurions
- Bivouac
- Camp Followers’ Dance
- Final Bivouac
- Call To Battle
- Battle Scene
- The Aftermath
