A Mini-Tour of Texas
Hello, all! I'm excited to once again be hitting the road this coming week, as I give a quick three-day tour of lectures, clinics, and composition premieres in Texas. Here's the itinerary:
- Monday, March 23
- 500 PM - Texas Christian University Brass. I will be attending the TCU Brass Ensemble's final rehearsal of my fanfare "Change Ringing," which this fine group will premiere at the Dallas Winds concert on Tuesday, March 24th, under the direction of Bobby Francis.
- Tuesday, March 24
- 9:30 AM - Baylor University. I'll be giving a guest lecture to the Music Education majors at Baylor University. Thanks to Dr. Russ Gavin for hosting me for this event.
- 2:30 PM - University High School. I'm excited to be working with the University High School concert bands, directed by Mr. Archie Hatten, in Waco, TX. I also have the pleasure of writing their halftime show music for the coming season.
- 7:30 PM - I'm excited to hear the brass section of the TCU wind program premiere my fanfare "Change Ringing," which was chosen as one of several winners of the Dallas Winds' annual "Call for Fanfares" competition. I'm honored that I'll get to hear such wonderful musicians premiering my music in a beautiful venue.
- Wednesday, March 25
- 8:00 AM - I'll be working with the fine bands at Rosemont Middle School in Fort Worth, TX. Thanks to their band director Mr. Brent Schooley for inviting me!
There you have it! I'm so excited to work with and hear all of these great ensembles and their conductors. I'll be sure to record, photograph, and live-share it all on social media.
