I'm a huge fan of Dr. Llinas.

In the world of marching arts, Llinás is an active arranger/composer/show designer producing competitive marching band and indoor percussion shows for over 50 programs across the nation. Several of his works have been published by Center X Productions and performances of his works could be heard throughout the country including Oklahoma State University, Winthrop University, and The University of Texas at Austin. Several special projects have been commissioned of him by Estefan Enterprises in Miami, FL for the Miami Dolphins and the Florida Marlins, as well as the 2007 Orange Bowl Halftime Production with special guest star from American Idol Taylor Hicks.

As a composer, Llinás has been commissioned to compose works for musicians from across the country. Recently, two works have been recorded by Mark Hetzler, trombone professor at The University of Wisconson, on Summit Records on two separate albums in 2012. His compositions and arrangements have also been performed by The University of Texas Wind Ensemble, The University of Texas Men’s and Women’s Chorus, the Dallas Wind Symphony, as well as performances by solo artists from The University of Texas, Furman University, and Huston-Tillotson University.

Llinás is an active clinician and guest conductor in the United States. In 2012, he appeared as a guest conductor with the West Point Band conducting music by Michael Daugherty. He maintains memberships in the Conductors Guild, the College Band Directors National Association, the Texas Music Educators Association, the Golden Key National Honors Society, and the Phi Kappa Phi National Honors Society. His recording credits include projects with The University of Texas at Austin, Summit Records, and Florida International University.

Dr. Llinás received a Bachelor of Science in Music Education from Florida International University and both a Master of Music and Doctor of Musical Arts in Conducting from The University of Texas at Austin. His primary conducting professors were Roby George and Jerry Junkin.

He comes from a DCI-marching style, which is a very intense style, focused on precise and fast-paced movements, sharp designs, and also clear sound.

Here's a performance he wrote for the high school marching band he used to direct: LINK

VERY impressive for a high school. I would welcome these types of changes.

Here's another: LINK

Good to hear.

That's great!

Makes our reasoning for not allowing the TAM band on last year a bit suspect though.
