If any of you are thinking about entering the Second Frank Ticheli Composition Contest sponsored by Manhattan Beach Music, I recommend checking out the CD that MBM produced. It features ALL of the finalists’ pieces (not just 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place) in a performance by the University of North Texas Symphonic Band captured beautifully by none-other-than Mark Custom.

Not only that, but MBM is also offering you a FREE CD if you intend to enter the competition! How cool is that? Check out the link for more info.

Or, I guess you could pay money…
