Here he is, tiger on the march, aspiring to join Colonel Windpipe's Musical Bridage! I want to name him Francis or Oliver. Something regal yet friendly sounding. Any suggestions?

While doing this was really fun, it was also a bit frustrating. I was in marching band for three years (I even became an officer by my senior year of high school) as well as jazz band, orchestra, dixie band...what I'm trying to say is that music and band are close to my heart and I put a lot of pressure on myself to make the.best.piece.ever. In the end, I had to loosen up and let go. Perhaps it's not my finest piece to date, but I think it's sweet and fun and a great experiment in a bolder style (well suited for children's books perhaps?). Other attempts included a trombone playing rhino and a jingle bell wielding worm (who I might still do...). And what's my instrument of choice? Trombone! I love low brass!
