Wednesday, June 20, 2012 at 03:45PM My move to Peoria. IL is over and done with. I racked up a lot of miles on my truck (almost to the 200,000 mile marker!). Also, I just accepted a job teaching drumset at Don's Music Land.
Thursday, May 10, 2012 at 06:37PM As you may know I started working for Percussion Music Online (PMO), which is a free database of published percussion literature. The goal of PMO is to become the most comprehensive online database where percussionists can research all the literature that is available to them on one easy-to-use site. In order to accomplish this goal we need to raise funds and that is where you come in. If this is a project that interests you please watch the video below to find out more about us. If you would like to contribute to our cause we would appreciate any assistance you can give us but if not we ask that you help us spread the word about PMO.
Thanks for reading,
Wes Stephens
Saturday, April 28, 2012 at 04:52AM I just wanted to say that I have added PayPal buttons to all my pieces to make it easier to order. I am hoping that this will streamline the ordering process by cutting out all the wasted time with the old method. As always thanks for reading!
Thursday, April 19, 2012 at 04:30AM The OU Steel Band will be performing First Impressions at the Norman Music Festival on April 28th at 12:00 PM on the Wild Prarie Family Park stage. If you can't make it to that performance you can see them again on May 3rd performing in the courtyard of Catlett Music Center in Norman, Oklahoma.
Monday, April 16, 2012 at 11:34AM This past Sunday was the premiere of Dance Suite for Brass Quintet which was wonderfully performed by the Boulevard Brass Quintet. I thoroughly enjoyed working with this fine group of musicians and hope to do so again in the future. The audience's reaction to the piece was very positive with comments like "it was the funnest thing on the program" and "it's a nice set of character pieces, each movement with a contrasting mood."
