We also did Stained Glass, Rhythmitis, Vertical River, Bicksa and the Suite for Drumset and Percussion Ensemble by Dave Mancini. That last one featured Dr. John Parks on the drumset. Yes, it was amazing!
Then off to the lobby to sign some autographs

After a nice dinner at the Oak Street Bistro, the clinicians headed back to my place to just hang out for a while.
