BCM International is a consortium of four composers who strive to create high-quality literature for all concert and educational mediums. While diverse in background and stylistic approach, we share a desire to enrich the repertoire with music unbound by traditional thought or idiomatic cliché.

Newm and I spent the evening at Sal Anthony's hanging with Robyn Wilkes and her Ridgeland HS band. I don't know what Newm said to them all, but I asked light-hearted questions like "What are you doing to do with your life?" I'm sure they appreciated it mightily...

Here's Robyn with two BCM thugs (namely, Newm, and myself):



We also got to meet one of the BCM Forum members, William Hays. Here we are after a dinner conversation trying to decide the future course of his life and college education. He's still smiling, so either we helped in some fashion, or he's just numb:



And last, but certainly NOT least, here's the entire charming mass of blue-shirted musicians known as the Ridgeland HS band, along with Newm and myself, holding our brand-spanking-new Ridgeland HS New York trip t-shirts:



To Robyn, Gary, the chaperones and of course, the BAND, thanks for letting us hang with you for a little while tonight. Hope you have a safe trip home, and enjoy your summer!
