We are glad to have Mike back again for FOREVER PLAID. You may recognize Mike since he has played with the Sanders Family for the past two productions of the SMOKE ON THE MOUNTAIN series. He and his wife moved to Burleson in May 2008. Before that, he was a band director, private instrumental instructor and performer in the SW Houston area. He is a multi-instrumentalist trained in classical and jazz. For his last seven years in Houston, he was the electric/acoustic bassist, tubist and associate conductor for The Masquerade Theatre, resident company in the Hobby Center in downtown Houston. Currently, he teaches flute, clarinet, saxophone, oboe, bassoon, trombone, euphonium, tuba and electric bass in Crowley and Forney ISDs, and the German Band of North Texas on oboe/English horn and flute. He is also a faculty member of Mountain Valley Studios in Joshua, teaching woodwinds and brasses.
