Saturday, November 2 - An awesome (and late night) international video conference with the band students from the American International School in Dhaka, Bangladesh. They will be premiering my "Chorale and Scherzo" in December, featuring Dr. Aaron Witek, trumpet professor from Ithaca College.  I'm happy to announce a new piece by yours truly for Intermediate Band: "The Big Band Boogie Woogie Brass Brigade (in B flat)" Grade 2. From the publisher, "Here's a blues swing composition for your band. It is syncopated with contrasting melodies and jazz harmonies...Only the 1st clarinet plays above the break. 1st trumpet's highest note is F."
Dedicated to the Brad Schoener Music Man Summer Camp - Jennifer Schoener, Director, the composition is published through Northeastern Music. The Northeastern site has the full audio and score sample for perusal. Here are the Northeastern, Presser and JWPepper links: http://www.nemusicpub.com/store/product.aspx/productId/666/Big-Band-Boogie-Woogie-Brass-Brigade/N200188 https://www.presser.com/shop/the-big-band-boogie-woogie-brass-brigade.html https://www.jwpepper.com/The-Big-Band-Boogie-Woogie-Brass-Bragade/11100602.item#/submit Major shout out and congrats to the amazing Cadets and their 2019 production "Behold". So proud of the talented and dedicated members, as well as the staff and volunteers who make this thing happen. Honored to be a part of the design team. Here's a pic of the final set, from the final performance at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on August 10th. Nice one, folks!  Pumped for the final winter season camp for the Cadets this weekend in Horsham, PA. Getting together with the percussion and guard for the first time since WGI.
