AEJ and I are heading to Austin tomorrow. On Tuesday at 7:30pm, the Hill Country Middle School band, conducted by Cheryl Floyd, will premiere “Undertow,” my first piece for young(ish) band. (That links to the new page for the piece. There’s no audio yet, but hopefully there will be next week.) The concert will be at Bates Recital Hall at UT Austin. Tickets are free. I’d love to see you there!

If you can’t make it, the concert will also be webcast, so check this link a few minutes before the concert is scheduled to start. That’s 7:30pm Central — or as I like to call it, Elvis Time.

It’s going to be hella-hot in Austin this weekend. I don’t know how I’ll ever get used to the weather after we move. It’s 64 degrees in LA today. It’s 97 in Austin. Ouch.
