Not sure what to say?

One of the great composers of concert band music. Fond memories of playing it with Trinity University and San Antonio Municipal bands.

Owen Reed was an icon of musical creativity in my life. I was fortunate to have taken composition lessons from him in the 1990's during a summer at Canadian Lakes, Michigan. He has left us all a legacy with his music and his spirit as a great human being will live on forever.
