Music History: I have a degree in Music
Education. I began my music career in an old-time circus band. I studied under a college
instructor who had played briefly under Sousa and later led an army band in the Pacific,
reporting directly to Douglas MacArthur.
I went into the army after graduation as a commissioned officer and
commanded a company to which an army band was attached. I worked closely with this band. I
taught history and was a high school band director in Commache, Okla. and Edgewood, TX.,
for a total of three years. I joined the Town North Concert Band in 1974. Since leaving the teaching field I have
conducted two community bands and two church orchestras for 12 years. Currently I am
directing two different adult bands, play in two others, and work part-time as a private
music teacher in two school districts. Copyright 2008 Town North Concert Band. All rights reserved. |
