First, I would like to thank my family and friends, especially Charlotte Rose, John Heidrick, and Price Sukhia for their relentless support and love. Thank you for listening to me voice my unconventional ideas for so many months with nothing except openness and enthusiasm. You believed in my potential and encouraged me during life’s more difficult moments, and I only hope I can do the same for you when you need encouragement from me. I want to also thank the contributors of the Indiegogo campaign and my followers on social media platforms. Thank you for supporting me in this endeavor and having a role in the creation of a new piece for bandsemble.
