Ensemble, and will be joined by Markovich, Saunders, and Frank for a panel 
discussion.

and recorded on the Orion label, and won the 2002 William D. Revelli 
Memorial Band Composition Contest for his work ?Illuminations.?  He holds 
degrees from Ohio University, Bowling Green State University and The Ohio
