Hi, Jimbo! I don't know about his early years, but Bill Himes is the music director of the Chicago Staff Band of the Salvation Army. He's also a prolific arranger and composer of brass band music. I got to know him in my days with the Illinois Brass Band, and Chicago Brass Band. My wife knew him from her days in the Salvation Army! Thanx!! Guy
Bravo! Is the arranger also the Euphonium player originally from Port Huron, Mi? I knew him from H.S. and U. of Mich Band. Small world! Your group has wonderful sound and control. The arrangement has great beauty and amazing sonorities. God Bless!!!!
