🎶 A Celebration of Music, Memories, and New Beginnings 🎶Please join me for a very special evening as I conduct my final concert before retiring in June 2026. After 35 unforgettable years in music education, I’ve had the privilege of making music with thousands of remarkable students. As this chapter comes to a close, I would be honored to have as many former students, friends, and supporters in the audience as possible.
Let’s fill the room—standing room only would be a dream come true—and celebrate the legacy we built together through music.
This concert will also feature the world premiere of a newly commissioned work by Dr. Travis Weller, written specifically for this milestone performance.
Program Selections Include:
🎵 An American Elegy – Frank Ticheli
🎵 Apollo: Myth and Legend – Rob Romeyn
🎵 Brazil: Ceremony, Song, and Samba – Robert W. Smith
🎵 Jericho – Morton Gould
🎵 A Legacy Cast in Gold – Dr. Travis Weller (World Debut)
🎵 The Thunderer – John Phillip Sousa
• Conducted by the 2026 Butler John Phillip Sousa Award recipient
🎵 Persuasion – Sammy Nestico
• Alto Saxophone Solo: Jeff Kroner
• Conducted by Mr. Todd Karenbauer
🎵 Pilatus: Mountain of Dragons – Steven Reineke
🎵 Symphony of Souls – Robert W. Smith
It would mean the world to share this evening with you—one final time—surrounded by the music and the people who made these years so meaningful.
Let’s make it a night to remember. 💛
