So I was asked by the percussion director of Cardinal Gibbons High School in Raleigh, NC to compose a piece for the percussion ensemble. They are going to premiere the composition in their fall concert. It was suppose to be for their spring concert last year but with my computer crashing and shoulder surgery, let’s just say it was a better time to wait and compose it now this time around! I believe I am going to call it ‘Feel the Vibes’. The instrumentation as of now is Vibraphone, Marimba, mini Steel Drum, and Bass Guitar. It is almost completed, thanks be to God for the sudden burst of inspiration to really knock it out the past two weeks! Wish it could have come to me a little sooner but I gotta remember it’s not on my time! haha!

When I have a somewhat finished draft, I will update you all!
