We have obviously not updated the site - sorry! It's on the schedule for the summer… ;)

Some updates were made today concerning Phoebus Publications. There were two pieces that they carry that weren't on the web site: Gypsies (for solo flute) and Casco Bay (for wind band). I (the webmaster) need to get more information from Dan about these pieces to add to the web site. Also, the phone number for Phoebus has been added to all pieces that are published by them (920-231-9231). The other pieces that are available through Phoebus are: Dinosaurs, Hymn of St. Francis, Song Suite for Band, and Surprise, Pattern, Illusion.
