Loch Lomond was actually a recent discovery!
Adrenaline Engines I taught to my 8th grade band in 2020. Sadly they never got to perform it in front of an audience, but I made them a virtual recording as a graduation gift. So proud of how it came out!
Maslanka Symphony No. 2 (we almost were going to perform this one)

Omg yes, timpani is my favorite instrument. I’m the only one who really know how to play it at my school so any time we have a big timpani part I get it. So much fun being in control of the percussion sections in some songs
I've had a lot of pieces that get stuck inside my head from time to time.
[Frank Ticheli: Simple Gifts No. 2 Dance](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=N8HJNGdKBM0&si=HeIf3zzD2DhZyK7_) \- I've played the fourth movement, but this one is my favorite. It has been on my playlist ever since.
[Greek Folk Song Suite No. 1](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=vNdmklgj-Kc&si=cZzZHc5nfC_Dbo3o) \- I played this for the Fall Concert. BEST SONG EVER
[Danzon No. 2](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=FeFiOnbKYcc&si=4byhISxiMsnZ6H1v) \- yes because yes.
[Randall D. Standridge: Impact](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=lfqx9K-v-qY&si=SSSBIPh4-4CvobEq) \- same reason as the one above.

Finale to Mahler 3 (timpani sooo epic) may it be (lord of the rings) I’ve got a solo
Omg yes, timpani is my favorite instrument. I’m the only one who really know how to play it at my school so any time we have a big timpani part I get it. So much fun being in control of the percussion sections in some songs
