I just recently finished a new work for Percussion Ensemble entitled “Shock and Awe.”  The piece will be receiving its world premiere on February 26, 2011 by the JMU Percussion Ensemble at the Forbes Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of James Madison University.  For more information on the concert, visit this page.  It is sure to be a great concert and my piece will be opening it!

I’ve been working on getting some more solo works done and up on the site.  Everything for the Full Drumline marching section is up and available.  I finished a new tenor solo (Well That’s Odd!) and am working on a new snare solo right now.  I’m also trying to finish up another easier snare and tenor duet.  Keep checking back for more updates regularly.  Also, check out the blog.  I’m using this mainly as a percussion blog to post some of the main things I find out that are happening in the world of percussion.  Thanks to all who stop by the site.

Congratulations to the James Madison University Indoor Drumline on their 3rd place finish in the PIA category of the Atlantic Indoor Association Finals.  The drumline performed an original composition of mine titled “Just a Matter of Time”.  A video will be posted shortly of the finals performance.

Enter the Master is now available for purchase through Doug Wallace Percussion. This percussion quartet won 1st Runner up in the 2008 Doug Wallace Percussion Composition Contest. Perfect for the advanced high school or beginning college ensemble.
