Every year the West Des Moines school district hires a composer to write a piece for their young orchestra. This year they have selected me to write the piece that will be performed in April this year.  I’m really looking forward to it.  As an added bonus for writing the piece I decided I should record the piece so that kids can download the piece to help them practice.  I thought I would put this up on our site so they can easily access it.

My only request is that if you like the piece you go find us on facebook and like us and maybe even buy our first record on itunes.  If you really feel inspired you can go make a donation on the shop page to help us with our next record.

Enjoy and can’t wait to perform this epic music.

    Dear Mr. Lucas Shrogen,
    The Final Battle was great, and I really enjoyed it. I’m currently a student at Clive and my orchestra teacher is Dr. Caldwell. I’ve been checking the other songs that you have composed, and they were great as well. I look forward to meeting you later on in the year, and I’ve been practicing very hard to play the song. Thank you.

    Sincerely, Leiz
