Nebraska Trumpet Ensemble Goes to School

I would like to thank our friends in the Nebraska Trumpet Ensemble for including two of my arrangements in their past concert.

From a composer/arranger’s standpoint, nothing can be more rewarding than to have such a talented ensemble perform one’s piece with such high level of musicianship.

I would especially like to thank Mr. Dean Haist for his outstanding work with schools around the state and elsewhere. His high level of presentations should be the standard for all of us as we continue to promote instrumental music in our school systems.

Bravo to the Nebraska Trumpet Ensemble for an outstanding performance……
