New happenings

Things are very well around here. This past weekend, my son , Willie, performed trumpet with the All region concert band. His band performed two of my compositions ("Ft. McIntosh March", and "Calypso Carnival"). I was very proud to have my son perform in a region band and do two of my tunes. I look forward to having my daughter, Tammy, start band soon. We already purchased her a new flute.

The first marching package entitled "Generations" is taking shape. I received the percussion arrangements combined with the wind parts on an mp3. I look forward to posting the opener very soon on my website. Eric Rath is working on the 2nd/3rd selections for the show. I am currently working on music by Saint Saens. Songs will include: "The Swan", "The Organ Symphony", and "Bacchanale from Samson and Delilah".

Also, I arranged much of the music for the Presidents Drum and Bugle Corps (Tn.). I am really hoping they finally take the field in competition. The opener is "Exodus" and really will be very exciting. Jeremy Kirk is arranging the percussion and doing a great job with it. I'll post this music on my website when it is finished.

Well I must go for now. It is Wednesday and I'm already looking towards a great upcoming weekend.!!

Until then,

Dennis
