Hope you don't mind but we have 2 Samurai in full dress going to battle it out during the pencil scene! What a blast.

If you happen to be in Kissimmee, Florida this Thursday you could really surprise the students. (I know, right.)

Great pieces and have enjoyed teaching each of them.

Cheers

I am looking to purchase two of your pieces this year - Ten Masters in Two minutes - I like it ( it is well written) and seamless as it goes from one song into the next. (plus the kids get exposed to a little taste of the great composers in the beginning of their musical career). I also am going to purchase Casey's Last Run - it sounds like "Great Locomotive Chase" - by Robert W. Smith ( love this piece for my older more experienced bands) - but Casey's last run is much shorter and therefore more playable for the younger bands.Endurance is a factor for my younger bands.

Performed your Family Fugue once again this year and it NEVER fails! Big crowd favorite with incredible content for both performer and listener. For those that are not familiar with a grade 1 operetta for band, check out this amazing piece.

Thanks again Tim.
