A compilation of my flute performances, ranging from playing in church, orchestra, and band concerts, to solos, duets, and other ensembles. I don’t own the rights to any of this music; I’ve just simply had the privilege of playing it! I started playing the flute back in 1988. Music gives me the opportunity to relieve stress while spreading joy to others. I hope you enjoy these songs as much as I enjoyed playing them!

Well done!!! I was part of the 1985 US Collegiate wind band, we were the first to record this song back in 1985, sorry for the quality it was digitized from cassette, We also only practiced it a few times before performing it. LOL. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AGhS8mt85AM.html

Mr. Rusty Courson has been such a huge blessing to me and my dad for years since I was in the band at Beauregard High School in Beauregard, AL during the 2002-2004 school years. He is and will always be such a huge part of my life no matter where he is and will always be one of my best friends. This is a beautiful arrangement for band.
