VibesWorkshop people!! This Wednesday, November 14 the Millersville University Percussion Ensemble will premiere Tony's composition "WEISS GUY" dedicated to Steve Weiss. Through many rehearsals, rewrites, and student input I think the piece is in a pretty cool place. It certainly showcases Tony as a soloist and has plenty of very hip ensemble moments. It has been a pleasure working with Tony on this venture and the kids have certainly gained a considerable amount from the experience. If you are in the area and can make it out please do, you will not be disappointed!!

it was fun and cool. and now i have my first percussion piece. it needs some work to finish it. and i'll do it, and then i'm on to my next piece. my goal being to write percussion pieces and some small marimba vibe pieces and marimba vibes and small percussion.
my thanks to james armstrong who has really given me a ton of good advice here. he's a co write of the piece now because of all he's contributed.
