Kansas City area band teacher writes work about Lance Armstrong
Saturday, October 30, 2004
Today's Kansas City Star has an article about Shawnee Mission Northwest Orchestra Director Jeffery Bishop's latest work:
Bishop has been commissioned to write a piece for the Texas Music Educators Association Region 18 Junior High Symphony Orchestra. The piece, “Ride!,” which commemorates Texas native Lance Armstrong's sixth Tour de France victory, will premiere on Nov. 20. Bishop was approached with this opportunity after writing a piece for another student orchestra in Texas last year.

“His music has been coming up more and more lately, and the kids find it exciting to play,” said Catrina Lotspeich, chair of the TMEA Region 18 Orchestras.
