​

As a new freshman in the University of Florida School of Music, I wanted to impress the rest of my colleagues in the tuba/euphonium studio with my composing abilities. Under the approval of former adjunct professor James Jenkins, he allowed me to compose "Gator Rag", a quick, bouncy ragtime-influenced piece that included 12-bar blues progressions and melodies. Composed in 2014 and revised in 2015, "Gator Rag 2.0" was performed by Gator Bass at the 2015 Gainesville Horns and Pipes Concert, as well at a pre-show concert for the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra.
