​MARCHING BAND

LOFTED
(opener)

Originally commissioned by Beatrice High School. Easy wind parts, intermediate to advanced percussion. More of this show to come. Idea/concept being up in the air, moving amongst the clouds.

IRISH-ISH
(full show)

Marching show based on old irish folk tunes with personal tweaks and twists. Intermediate wind parts, intermediate to advanced percussion. 

INDOOR PERCUSSION

RED, BLACK & BLUE

Based on the somewhat recent interactions between the black community and police. Originally written after the Philando Castile incident in July 2016, this show highlights the aftermath of him being shot in between the opener and ballad.

Most appropriate for Independent A to Open groups.

FRESH
(opener)

Another upbeat show. Set in 3, very round and uplifting vibe. More to come. Intermediate front ensemble and battery parts. Heavy agogic accents on downbeats with marimba chords and vibes highlighting that idea. Keyboards follow very straight forward rhythms while moving with ease along the harmonic structure.

SKETCH113
(2nd movement)

Sometimes you just have to write. This piece doesn't have a place yet, but it will at some point. Intermediate parts, perhaps a little more advanced in the keys with some of the sixteenth scalar, inside mallet runs. Solid, phat groove towards the end.
