Hey, Notion Family,
If you know of schools, choirs, bands or orchestras looking for new music & fresh arrangements (many done with NOTION!)-check out my website praisewinds.com. There are demo scores and mp3's, and if any of my notion cohorts would care to comment on some of them, I'd value your input. The sight is back up!!
Thanks!
Gary Laughrey

I jsut uploaded 3 files to my site. They are all part of my first "Musical moments for Orchestra" series. Thus, they are shor- ie, musical "moments!"

I'm going to the DCI quarterfinals in my home town of Michigan City, Indiana in August. Looking forward to an exciting time there! Ther's nothing quite like that wall of brass hitting you head-on!
I also hope to compose some more before the Fall semester begins at Kentucky Wesleyan College Aug. 30th. To see some of the stuff I've already done, check out praisewinds.com. Do any of the rest of you have the problem of too many ideas? If so, how do you prioritize them?

I was runner-up in the first Notion Orchestral Composition Contest, and have been using notion as my 1st choice for orchestral writing ever since. Because of the beauty of the scores and awesome sounds, I have just signed a publishing agreement for 2 of my orchestral compositions- "Etude, Brute?" and "Selah for Strings." I LOVE writing music; and I LOVE writing with notion!
