Going to be a band-filled weekend. Playing in a huge wind ensemble doing tunes like the awesome 'Gandalf' by Johan de Meij.

Washington Wind Symphony Mar 4

What does a 300-year-old masterpiece sound like through the power of a premier wind symphony? We’re tracing the "Footprints of the Masters," from the architectural genius of J.S. Bach to the visceral, modern energy of David Maslanka’s Give Us This Day.
It’s an afternoon of brass fanfares, intricate woodwinds, and living musical legacy you can feel.

I am playing baritone saxophone with Cedar Park Winds Sunday, December 7, at 2:00 PM, at the Vandegrift High School Performing Arts Center in Austin, Texas. This group is full of band directors, professional musicians, and professional hobbyists, like me. Come out and say hi! #music #classical #windensemble #barisax

It’s been a while since I did a 20-hour day but damn it was a good one. Did the Formation #5k followed by an hour of #windband sightreading, then a rip to the ferry to Vancouver, a visit with my aunt, dinner with her and my son, and then 3 sets of #yachtrock downtown before a brief repose, breakfast with my son, and now back on the ferry home. #running #bass #doublebass #windensemble

I'm appreciating the free wifi on this aircraft, as well as the fact that I'm kinda mashed into my seat and still able to work without contorting my body. Just did a fun arrangement of some music for brass quintet and woodwind quintet for funsies, now going to turn my attention to this big band thing I’ve been meaning to do.

Ah, excellent. I just talked my way into sightreading a concert tonight with a #windensemble I used to play with about 20 years ago. Some wonderful old friends, and a bunch of music I’ve never seen before. Should be fun! #doublebass #stringbass #bassist #windband #concertband
