UIL Marching Contest & New Works

First of all, a big congratulations goes to Zapata High School (Amado Martinez, Director) for receiving straight 1's at last Saturday's UIL Marching Competition held in Sinton. Judges commented that their show was the most musical of all of the bands that had performed earlier. Note- they were one of the last bands to compete. I also want to thank the following Texas bands for allowing me the opportunity to write their shows: Tulia High School (Brandon Haynes, Director) and Elgin High School (Dave Polk, Director).

Secondly, I would like to thank Mr. Allen Clark and the University of Texas-Brownsville Wind Ensemble for recording my four latest works. These works include: "Legend of the Dragonfly", "Rocking with the Reindeer", "Los Braziles", and "Four Short Dances". These will be submitted very soon for publication consideration.

Finally, I am available for commissions for concert and marching bands. I am always willing to negotiate a fair price that band programs can afford. Just contact me.
