DFW Composers

Posted by 4add on 8/15/2026, 8:35 am

Looking for music from local composers in DFW. I have William Owens, Nathan Hervey, Haley Woodrow, and Kevin Day. Anyone else? Bonus if they have pieces for middle school band.

Ha, the number of times I’ve played those is in the dozens. I should have remembered him.

Good evening,

If you like, email me directly joblist109@yahoo.com with specifics needs/level for the middle school ensemble. I know someone new that is currently composing middle school band pieces in DFW.
Thanks!

My friend Darrington White is in Waxahachie, and he's done some composing.

Jason Nitsch and Willie Owens i will personally vouch for. if you're looking for them to work with your kids, they are also outstanding.

Try Quinn Mason. Likely not playable by middle school though.

David Shipps also went to NT so there's a DFW connection.
