Today, I’m continuing to work on my presentation about composing for concert band as a music educator. In sharing it with some of my colleagues, their feedback back has been positive, encouraging, and valuable.
Tonight, the Smithtown Community Band is rehearsing for tomorrow night’s concert. I have the opportunity to contuct John Williams’s Hymn to the Fallen, featuring the Silver Chords Chorus and Sammy Nestico’s arrangment of When You Wish Upon a Star. I’ll also be playing horn on the rest of the program!
