Busy Busy Busy
Okay. All compositions are currently on hold (or at least, a low priority) until I get Dobson’s marching show finished. The staff and I had our second meeting tonight to discuss further details of the show. I’ve practically got to compose half the show within the next 3 weeks so it’ll be a busy couple of weekends. Here are the other projects I still need to get done:
In no particular order,
1. String Quartet No. 1
2. Conan Musical
3. New ending credits song for Malediction
Hopefully, after these, I can finally start some of the bigger projects I’ve been really hoping to get around to (Dreamland and Kill For You). I’ve been doing lots of reading on how to develop a good story so the musical I originally developed several months ago is turning into something fantastic. It will be worth the wait. I need to start writing some quality music…

Really? You’re seriously writing a marching show? Is it a new piece, or are you reworking something else for marching band?

I know. Sounds crazy. We talked about just arranging a work (a Dan Welcher piece if I remember correctly) but we’ve decided to go with something original. I will be working with a good friend of mine, Joe Goglia (who came up with the concept for the show), who is also a marching band percussion instructor for Dobson. He will be writing the battery and filling in the rest of the percussion I don’t get done. It should be a lot of fun. I was never all that into marching band (and was usually reprimanded for it) so it has got me thinking about a lot of new concepts such as the visual side of things. I’ve got 3 weeks to get practically half of it done! Yikes!
