Honolulu-Based Tuba Guy & Music Educator

Busy, Busy, Busy

Hey All,
Sorry it has been so long since I updated my page, but I’ve been working like a mad man (that’s a good thing)!

For anyone who hasn’t ever seen me in a dress, here is a picture from the recent Diamondhead Theatre production of “Caberet”:

It was a great cast and a great band! This was the first production on which Sara and I have both been booked as the official band members. Unfortunately, I had to miss the final weekend and extension of the run because of other activities…

October 13-15th the Emerald Brass Quintet did a residency at Utah State University. Over the course of those three days we played three school run-out shows and one major recital at USU, coached the USU scholarship brass quintet, taught lessons, and did a LOT of rehearsing. It was great fun to see the guys again and make music together as well as to hear all of the great things going on with the students and faculty of Utah State!

The following weekend was the great convergence of gigs in Honolulu. I continued my regular work with the Royal Hawaiian Band, but also played shows with the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra and Hawaii Pops! The Hawaii Symphony Orchestra’s trombone section is absolutely killer this year; it is totally worth coming to the shows just to hear them (glad they’re letting me tag along – filling in for John Elliott this season):

At the end of the day on Sunday the 20th, Jason Byerlotzer and I had played 4 gigs together!

Diamond Head Theatre

I just finished a run of the Goodbye Girl over at Diamond Head Theatre playing bass trombone and bass guitar. Here is a shot of one of the nights Sara subbed in for Scott Villager. Great pit orchestra all around! (The towels are for International Towel Day, in celebration of the life and work of Douglas Adams)
