Everything Band Podcast

Composer and arranger Rob Romeyn joins me this week to talk about his career, the lessons he learned from great mentors as a young arranger, and his current work with C.L. Barnhouse. Topics: Rob’s background growing up in Florida and his exposure to some of the great names in the music education and marching arts communities during his early career in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The story of a band arranging class taught by Bob Cotter that exposed Rob to band music and arranging while still in high school. How conducting a community band led to Rob’s transition to writing for concert band and his introduction to Andy Glover at C.L. Barnhouse. Rob’s current compositional process, the value of writing holiday music, and how he formulates a plan for each piece that he writes. Links: Rob Romeyn C.L.
