NEWS   Last December Century High School's Percussion ensemble performed "Dreamscapes." Many thanks to them for taking the time to learn the piece. They have a very talented group, but don't take my word for it! Watch their performance on youtube: http://youtu.be/jpU_dVHfmGw

Band History:
Well, we formed on October 27, 1988, and although my right hand has been a real nuisance to my elbow, we just haven't been able to split up after so long of being together.
Your influences?
Most recently, my influences have come from minimalist composers such as John Adams and Phillip Glass. This is probably best shown in, "Mirrors," but you can begin to hear their influences towards the end of, "Views From an Ethereal II."

Other influences include composers from the romantic, impressionistic, and expressionistic era, as well as non-classical music which would be far too long a list to post here.
