Description
In March (2026), I'll be spending a day with the band students at Cocalico Middle School in Denver, PA (near Lancaster). I'll do rehearsal clinics with the 6th grade band, the 7th/8th grade band, and with the combined bands. Each group is working on one of my compositions. The pieces they performing of mine include: Terracotta Warriors, Awesome Sauce, and Regal Fanfare and March (all published by Alfred).
After a day of rehearsing, there is a dinner planned, then an evening concert to cap off the day! The band director, Tess Kennedy, asked if I would personally autograph each students' part for them as a keepsake. Although my hand got a little sore, it was a cool idea and I was very flattered :-)
