The invitation to compose came during the first week of classes, making the composition completion a four-week project. Some of the students featured have had experience writing big band arrangements and compositions before. But for many of the students, this is their first time writing for large ensemble. Learning how to write and arrange is an important skill that will benefit even after graduation.
All the pieces turned out great with the guidance and encouragement of Dr. Aaron Hedenstrom, so come out to the concert on October 16th, 7:30pm in Gantner Concert Hall to hear their stories and cheer them on!
