I was inspired to write The Bow Rider after sharing camping stories with my brother recently. When I was four years old my family lived in Oregon and our family would go camping with several other families at Shasta Lake in California. Some of the most vivid memories I have from those trips involve riding in our boat (we named it Whoops Wow). I remember riding on the bow of the boat and finding that to be a thrilling and slightly terrifying experience at the time. I gave myself the task of telling the story of this experience through music for concert band. I sincerely hope you enjoy reliving this experience with me.

Dos Por Cinco was designed to be used as a warm-up or teaching piece, but it will work well as a fun number for concert performance. 
Concepts that are reinforced in this piece include:
Matching articulation
Matching dynamics
Intonation
Balance & blend
Antiphony - separate sections share equal responsibility in performing the melody in the same way athletes share responsibility in a baton relay race.

A Momentous Occaision is a grade 2+ concert opener for band that is quite suitable for use as  processional music for special events and assemblies such as a graduation ceremony or convocation. I wrote this piece in 2011 my band to play as our faculty processed in at our school's graduation ceremony. We needed music that our school's string orchestra students could play with us, and so I included optional parts for 1st & second Violin, Viola, Cello, & Bass. These optional parts are included with this set. My students were able to learn this music in less than a week, which worked out well for our very hectic and irregular end of the year schedule.
