I have had the great fortune to be in a lot of band halls over the past few years to work with ensembles who are preparing my music. One thing that I recognize is that this isn't always an opportunity that is available to all of the different ensembles in the band program. So, I am excited to share a new commission opportunity launching this fall!
The Commission 2026 Project will produce three pieces for varying levels:
Grade .5-1 (for beginners or sub-nv bands)
Grade 1.5-2 (for non-varsity bands)
Grade 2.5-3 (for varsity bands)
Every band on your campus can have the experience of bringing a new piece to life!
The participation fee is $300, and the pieces are expected to be delivered in late fall 2025 for performance in the spring of 2026. This also includes periodic updates to share, the opportunity for zoom sessions with your band (or in-person visits if you're near DFW), and an exclusive performance period prior to these pieces going to publishers.
If you are interested in joining, all you have to do is visit https://jasonnitsch.com/commission2026 and fill out the interest form!
Thanks Texas for all of your support over the years, and I hope that you have a GREAT year!
