I have been writing arrangements for over twenty years. Most of my works have been for small church ensembles of varying experience based on available instrumentation. The challenge to write quality music for such diverse groups has given me valuable insight into writing for high school bands. Over the past five years, I have been priviledged to serve as a volunteer instructor with the Barnwell High School Scarlet Knights. It has rekindled my love for marching band and for arranging. This past year I was asked to write for two high school bands in our area. The arrangements were a big success and helped both programs. As a result, I have decided to make my arrangements available to other high school bands. |
