All State Middle School Band Samuel R. Hazo, Conductor Audrey Murphy, Organizer Nick Garofalo, Percussion Coordinator

Samuel R. Hazo resides in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with his wife and children. In 2003, Mr. Hazo became the first composer in history to be awarded the winner of both composition contests sponsored by the National Band Association. His piece Mountain Thyme was an Honorable Mention for the 2013 CBDNA Composition Contest. He has composed for the professional, university and public school levels in addition to writing original scores for television, radio and the stage. His original symphonic compositions include performances with actors Brooke Shields, James Earl Jones, David Conrad and Richard Kiley. Most recently, Mr. Hazo was asked by the Newtown School District to compose the memorial for the children and women who were lost in the tragedy at their Sandy Hook Elementary School. The result was a major work for Choir, Orchestra and Wind Band combined titled “Glorificare.” It was premiered in May of 2013 by the Hartford Symphony Orchestra and VOCE Singers performing side-by-side with the Newtown High School musicians. Mr. Hazo also composed “Bridges,” which he was requested to write by Virginia Tech University following their tragic shootings. In 2012, two of Mr. Hazo’s compositions were performed at the London Summer Olympic Games.

On the Internet, Mr. Hazo’s music has compiled over three million hits on YouTube. His compositions have been performed and recorded world-wide, including performances by the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra (national tour), the Birmingham Symphonic Winds (UK) and the Klavier Wind Project’s recordings with Eugene Migliaro Corporon. Additionally, numerous titles of Mr. Hazo’s works are included in the series “Teaching Music Through Performance in Band.” He has served as composer-in-residence at Craig Kirchhoff’s University of Minnesota Conducting Symposium and has also lectured on music and music education at universities and high schools internationally. In 2004, Mr. Hazo’s compositions were listed in a published national survey of the “Top Twenty Compositions of All Time” for wind band. He is a member of ASCAP and recipient of multiple ASCAPlus Awards. Samuel R. Hazo has been a music teacher at every educational grade level from kindergarten through college, including tenure as a high school and university director. He has been invited to guest conduct over 70 university ensembles and half of the All-State bands in America. Mr. Hazo was twice named “Teacher of Distinction” by the southwestern Pennsylvania Teachers’ Excellence Foundation. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Duquesne University where he served on the Board of Governors and was awarded as Duquesne’s Outstanding Graduate in Music Education. Mr. Hazo serves as a lecturer and clinician for Hal Leonard Corporation.

All State Concert Band Greg Bimm, Conductor Blair Callaway, Organizer Travis Downs, Percussion Coordinator

Greg Bimm has been Director of Bands at Marian Catholic High School since 1977. Under his direction, the Marian Band has grown from 70 to over 280 members, has earned over 600 awards and honors, and has become one of the premier high school band programs in the United States. Mr. Bimm’s history with Bands of America dates back to 1981 when the Marian Catholic marching band came to the BOA Summer Workshop/Festival (now the Summer Symposium) to serve as the “lab band.” Directors enrolled in the Directors Workshops observed marching teaching theory in practice with the Workshop faculty and the Marian Catholic Band. Since then, the Marian Catholic bands are among the most honored in BOA history. Marian has been named the BOA Grand National Champions seven times and is the only marching band to win the Grand National Champion title three consecutive years.

They have participated in 21 consecutive Grand Nationals, numerous Regional Championships and the BOA Summer Nationals held in the 1980s, winning five Summer National titles. The Marian Catholic Symphonic Band was one of only eight bands invited to perform at the first National Concert Band Festival in 1992, held at Northwestern University and has performed again in 1995 and 1998. Mr. Bimm is a member of the 2005 Summer Symposium faculty. Most recently, Mr. Bimm was part of the teaching staff for the Bands of America Honor Band that appeared in the 2005 Tournament of Roses Parade. Mr. Bimm is a current member and past chairman of the Bands of America Advisory Board and has served several terms on BOA advisory bodies.

His input and expertise have been instrumental in guiding the direction of Bands of America programming. “Greg and the Marian Catholic band program serve as an inspiration and model for band directors across the nation,” says Scott McCormick, MFA President and CEO. Mr. Bimm has received five National Band Association Citations of Excellence and the NBA Certificate of Merit, was named the 1983 national winner of the ASBDA Stanbury award for young band directors, and received the Sudler Order of Merit from the John Philip Sousa Foundation in 1991 and 1997. In 1999, Mr. Bimm was among the first to be awarded the “Mary Hoffman” Award of Excellence by the Illinois Music Educator’s Association and in 2000 was recognized for contribution and support to art education by the Illinois Alliance for Arts Education. In 1994, Bimm was elected to membership in the prestigious American Bandmasters Association. Mr. Bimm holds degrees from Illinois State and Western Illinois Universities.

His professional affiliations include ABA, ASBDA, IMEA, NAfME, NCBA, NBA, Phi Beta Mu, and Phi Mu Alpha.

He has served on the Illinois High School Association Music Advisory Committee, and has served as Band Division chairman, District I and state equipment manager for IMEA. In constant demand, Mr. Bimm has performed as conductor, clinician, adjudicator, drill writer, or music arranger throughout the United States and Canada.

All State Concert Band Alfred L. Watkins, Conductor Rick Land, Organizer Michael Walker, Percussion Coordinator

Mr. Alfred L. Watkins is the recently retired Director of Bands at Lassiter High School, a position he held since 1982, completing a 37-year career as a high school director of bands. He has established a fine reputation as an adjudicator, clinician, lecturer and guest conductor throughout the United States. For six years prior to joining Lassiter, Watkins served as Director of Bands at Murphy High School in the Atlanta Public Schools.

Ensembles under Watkins’ direction have performed in nearly every major invitational venue in America including six times at the Midwest Band Clinic, eight performances at the Bands of America National Concert Band Festival, seven performances at the Georgia Music Educators Association In-Service Conference and at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention. Under his direction, the Lassiter Marching Band was a two-time Bands of America Grand National Champion, won nine BOA Regional Championships and won Winter Guard International “Scholastic A” and “Scholastic Open” World Championships. The band also participated in four Tournament of Roses Parades, three times in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, two King Orange Bowl Parades and once in the Florida Citrus Bowl Parade. The Marching Trojan Band won first place in 104 of 112 marching competitions entered in the school’s history (and during Watkins’ tenure), earning best music titles in 107 of them. The band program is one of only fourteen high bands in America to have received both the Sudler Flag of Honor (concert) and Sudler Shield (marching). Mr. Watkins was selected as a member of the Florida A & M Gallery of Distinguished Alumni, Bands of America Hall of Fame, American Bandmasters Association, Georgia Bandmasters Hall of Fame, Phi Beta Mu Educator of the Year and recently received the Georgia Music Educators Association Distinguished Career Award. He has received fifteen Certificates of Excellence from the National Band Association, the Sudler Order of Merit from the John Philip Sousa Foundation and the Band World Magazine Legion of Honor for significant contributions to bands and band music. He is the subject of two historical doctoral dissertations based on his life and his career with the Lassiter Band. In 1996, Mr. Watkins was Associate Director for the Atlanta Olympic Marching Band that performed in the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta. In 2008, Mr. Watkins was nominated to receive the prestigious Turknett Leadership Character Award from the Turknett Leadership Group, a Metro Atlanta Leadership Consultant firm. He was the first public school educator to have been nominated for this award. In 2013, Mr. Watkins was selected by a panel of almost a thousand band directors in an online poll as “One of the Admired Band Directors in America.” In 2013, he was a recipient of the Image Award by the 100 Black Men Organization of North Atlanta and the Flourish Award sponsored by Kennesaw State University. The $1.5 million band building at Lassiter bears his name. He is currently the President for the Minority Band Directors National Association, a new band director organization launched in September 2011. Mr. Watkins is Co-Founder (1999), Principal Conductor and Musical Director of the Cobb Wind Symphony, an all-adult community band based in the Atlanta area. The Cobb Wind Symphony has twice performed at the Midwest Band Clinic, three times at the Georgia Music Educators Convention, and twice at the NBA/ CBDNA Southern Division Conventions. In 2010, the Cobb Wind Symphony earned the Sudler Scroll, sponsored by the John Philip Sousa Foundation. He is the pioneer of the Symphonic Band Camp (1987), an intense camp of concert band/chamber literature designed for the winter months and currently used in over 35 states in America. For his last 23 years at Lassiter, all four (or five) concert bands at Lassiter earned superior ratings in performance and sight reading in GMEA concert band festivals with the top two ensemble performing in Grade VI since 1989. In 1997, the Sousa Foundation listed the Lassiter Symphonic Band in the HISTORIC ROLL OF HONOR OF DISTINGUISHED HIGH SCHOOL CONCERT BANDS IN AMERICA, 1920-1997.

He and his wife of thirty one years, Rita, live in Marietta. They have two adult sons.

All State Symphonic Band Col. Michael Colburn, Conductor Andrew Poor, Organizer Josh Roberts, Percussion Coordinator

Colonel Michael J. Colburn was the 27th Director of “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band. During his more than twenty years with “The President’s Own,” Col Colburn served as principal euphonium, Assistant Director, and from July 2004-14, the Director who led the Marine Band in its third century. As Director of “The President’s Own,” Col Colburn was music adviser to the White House. He regularly conducted the Marine Band at the Executive Mansion and at all Presidential Inaugurations. He also served as music director of Washington, D.C.’s prestigious Gridiron Club, a position held by every Marine Band Director since John Philip Sousa, and is a member of the Alfalfa Club and the American Bandmaster’s Association. After joining “The President’s Own” in May 1987 as a euphonium player, Col Colburn regularly performed at the White House, in the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area, and throughout the country during the band’s annual concert tour. He quickly distinguished himself as a featured soloist, and in 1990 was appointed principal euphonium. In addition to his euphonium duties, Col Colburn was active as a conductor for “The President’s Own” chamber music series. In 1996, he was appointed Assistant Director and commissioned a first lieutenant.

He accepted the position of Senior Assistant Director and Executive Officer in 2001, and in 2002 was promoted to the rank of major. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel one day before he assumed leadership of “The President’s Own” on July 17, 2004. He was promoted to colonel on July 3, 2007 by President George W. Bush in an Oval Office ceremony and awarded the Legion of Merit on July 11, 2008, the Marine Band’s 210th birthday, by Marine Corps Commandant, General James T. Conway. As Director, Col Colburn attracted prominent guest conductors to the podium of “The President’s Own,” including Leonard Slatkin, José Serebrier, and renowned film composer John Williams. Col Colburn was deeply committed to seeking new works for the Marine Band, and was directly involved in commissions from composers David Rakowski (Ten of a Kind, Sibling Revelry, Cantina), David Chaitkin (Celebration), Melinda Wagner (Scamp), and Jennifer Higdon (Percussion Concerto), and Michael Gandolfi. Col Colburn worked to expand the Marine Band’s educational outreach efforts by increasing master classes at schools throughout the nation during the band’s annual concert tour, and by initiating Music in the High Schools, a program that sends musicians from “The President’s Own” to perform in Washington, D.C., area high schools Col Colburn is a native of St. Albans, Vt., where he graduated from Bellows Free Academy in 1982. Following high school he attended the Crane School of Music at the State University of New York in Potsdam for two years. He continued his education at Arizona State University in Tempe, where he studied euphonium with Daniel Perantoni and earned a bachelor’s degree in music performance in 1986. In 1991, Col Colburn earned a master’s degree in conducting from George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., where he studied with Anthony Maiello.
