I’ve posted a marimba chorale that I wrote on the compositions page so anyone can download if they want.  Maybe soon I will be able to post a recording of it as well.  I’m currently working on the JMU indoor drumline music but my time should be freed up after graduation for more compositions.  Be sure to go by the Tapspace site as well and check out all the new pieces they have available, including mine!

I’m proud to say that Double Take is available from Tapspace.com. I can’t say enough how much of a great company they are for being flexible with me and getting that piece out.  Thanks to Murray Gusseck and the entire Tapspace team!  There’s also alot of cool other stuff that they have just released as well that is definitely worth checking out.  If anyone is heading to PASIC, be sure to stop by the Tapspace booth and take a look at my piece!

Sorry for the lack of updates.  I am currently working on some more compositions and will have info about them up shortly. I am also busy writing music for the JMU Marching Royal Dukes so that occupies a good portion of my time.  Soon I will have info about the possibility of purchasing music and more info up soon.  Thanks to anyone who checks the site!

I recently traveled to Austin, Texas to compete in the 2008 PASIC Individual Multi-Tenor competition on Thursday, November 6. I was lucky enough to perform very well and win the individual competition with a score of 92.5. The results of the rest of the competition are available on the PASIC site. I’ll post a video of the solo sometime soon.

I personally want to thank Al Murray and Dynasty VERY much for letting me borrow drums for the competition.

I recently had a snare drum etude selected to be included in a compilation of etudes being setup by the Massachusetts Percussive Arts Society. The book is being published by Bachovich Music should be available sometime in October or November and will be available through Steve Weiss Music. Check out the Massachusetts PAS site for more news on the competition and book.
