Can't wait to hear tomorrow's rehearsal of "Dune Aurora," my new piece written as part of the 2025 ComMission Possible Project! 🎺

I want to thank everyone who participated in the 2025 Missouri All-Collegiate Band at MMEA. For those who weren't there, the band got TWO STANDING OVATIONS, which they deeply deserved. To the students in the ensemble, I was honored to create music with you.

They are performing "Democracy Dies in Darkness."
