This collection of seven brief fanfares celebrates some of the people, places, and partnerships that have shaped my musical journey across the Indo-Pacific region. Each fanfare is a musical postcard—some celebratory, some jazzy, all composed with gratitude and admiration. Though compact in duration, these works are rich in spirit, honoring friendships, collaborations, and moments of significance from Guam to Korea to Japan.

1. Tumon Bay Fanfare (1:10)

Composed for the 20^th anniversary of the Tumon Bay Music Festival in Guam in 2025, this fanfare honors the friends I made during my participation in the 2023 festival as both performer and clinician. This fanfare is the only one in the set to include optional percussion, adding a festive flair to its celebratory tone.

2. Tokyo Fanfare (1:15)

Dedicated to Chief Master Sergeant Jason P. Foster, this fanfare premiered at his promotion ceremony at Yokota Air Base in Tokyo, Japan. It honors both his achievement and the ceremonial dignity of the occasion, blending formality with warmth.

3. Korea Fanfare (1:00)

Written in tribute to the Republic of Korea Air Force Band, with whom I had the privilege of performing in the summer of 2025. This fanfare reflects the strength of cross-cultural musical collaboration and the shared joy of performance.

4. Pacific Showcase Fanfare (0:30)

A jazzy swing fanfare named after both the 38-nation Pacific Area of Responsibility and the USAF Band of the Pacific-Asia’s jazz ensemble, Pacific Showcase. This piece captures the energy, versatility, and spirit of the ensemble and the region it represents.

5. Hajime-san Fanfare (0:20)

A spirited jazz fanfare dedicated to Hajime Etoh, arguably the number one fan of the USAF PACAF Band. His unwavering support and joyful presence at nearly every local performance inspired this brief but heartfelt musical thank-you.

Composed as a gift for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force Central Band in the Hamamatsu region, this fanfare was composed as a gift for a collaborative performance in March 2026. It honors the camaraderie and mutual respect shared between our multi-national ensembles.
