Monday, December 9th, 2013 Jake O’Brien lead the combined Valparaiso University Luce Concert Band and Valparaiso Community/University Concert Bands to a wonderful premiere of ‘Winter Memories‘! The group put forth a wonderful first performance of the work and I am very thankful for the efforts they put forth.

Monday, April 11th, 2011 A local church has asked for a piece to be performed during their Easter services. The piece will be for brass choir and organ and they have requested that it be based on a standard hymn of the season.
Thursday, November 5th, 2009 I found out today that ‘Battle Angelis‘ is officially on the North Carolina Bandmasters Association list for acceptable pieces for festival for 2009-2010. They’ve declared it a grade 5 difficulty. I hope the groups that have selected this work enjoy performing the piece.
Friday, January 4th, 2008 Today while looking at a music catalog I was a little surprised to see a note next to ‘Battle Angelis‘ in their listings. Upon further investigation, this means that ‘Battle Angelis’ is an approved piece for grade 4 festival competition in the state of Virginia.
