		<description><![CDATA[Christina posted a blog showing the rampant destruction that goes on around Summerglen at Christmas time, so I thought I&#8217;d give a shot of how some of that gets used! Here&#8217;s a view of the pit at the Durham Christmas Pageant in Page Auditorium at Duke.  This is actually a little bit smaller than my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve heard other composers talk about the joys of printing music at Kinko&#8217;s, and I finally had my moment! I feel like I&#8217;ve become a real boy!
So, here&#8217;s the story. I finished up a piece I&#8217;ve been working on, finally got it tweaked just right and laid out in Finale so it&#8217;s readable, and I [...]]]></description>

So, to thank all the students, fans and followers for all your support through the years, here&#8217;s my Thanksgiving gift to you: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#8217;s been a busy week here at Summerglen/RhythmArt&#8230;

 My drumset method book is almost done, I&#8217;m just doing some final tweaking/editing stuff before I send it off to the printers. One thing that I&#8217;ve resolved to do before sending it is to play through every exercise in the book to make sure they work. That&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So what does practice smell like? I&#8217;ve never really thought about it, but recently I had two smell-induced flashbacks to my high school band days, and it made me think about it!
Flashback one: I opened up my binder full scores for the marching band I&#8217;ve been working with. Around this point in the season, the [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve often explained my creative drive to people as filling the role most people use for conversation &#8211; it&#8217;s the only way I really [...]]]></description>

Last month was packed with writing as I got a start on my next Periculum release. Side effect of writing [...]]]></description>
