Congratulations to the UWS Symphonic Band as well as all of the student performers at the UWS Tri-State Honor Band Festival. The concert was great and I had a wonderful time working with all of you!

I will be guest conducting at the University of Wisconsin-Superior Tri-State Honor Band Festival on Thursday, October 20. In This Moment (premiere of revision), Pale Blue on Deep, Inner Sanctum, and Fever Flash will all be performed by the Honor Bands. In addition, the UW-Superior Symphonic Band, directed by Pamela Bowen Bustos, will premiere my latest work for band, I Was Just Looking at the World. Nathan Daughtrey's Concerto for Vibraphone and Wind Ensemble will also be performed on the concert. It should be a great time!

Yoo-Jung Chang and Nate Bogert will perform Bridge Suite on November 6 in Iowa City, IA, and again on November 12 at the Midwest Composers Symposium in Bloomington, IN.

Check out new recordings of My Place and The Waiting Game performed by Johnson County Landmark, live at the Mill in Iowa City.

I was honored to get the opportunity to conduct the Eden Prairie Wind Ensemble in concert this past May. Many thanks to the students and their director, Dr. Elizabeth Jackson. Here is a live recording of Pale Blue on Deep from the concert.

I had a great time working with Tom Maeck and the Eagan High School Wind Ensemble. Congratulations on a great performance at the MMEA Midwinter Clinic!
