Sophomore year. Going in, I had no idea who Warren Barker was. But I quickly found out, and he was a great clinician. It was after high school that I really understood just how big of a name he was. I’ve always had a soft spot for his band arrangements. Looking back, he was one of the people who, unbeknownst to him, influenced me to be a composer.
