So I did it, I made a song for the Dreams of Splendor contest and it's right here:

I truly believe this is everything I can give, it has detailed orchestration, rich tones in the piano and brass, epic solos and some real "Feel Good" moments.
This is actually the first piece of music I have written on my new PC! I got a really powerful machine to replace my old and crappy one (it used to die if I loaded up more than about 10 instruments, whereas this one... well it could run this track 3 times and not even begin choke! 16 gigs of RAM and an i7 processor do that, y'know!).
All that freedom really inspired me and this piece was born - an expression of creative freedom all the way.
I hope you love it as much as I do, I'm very proud of it.
Thanks for reading. :)
