"Cubs on Parade March and Two-Step"
As part of a Masters Thesis dissertation project at the University of Illinois, I undertook a historical investigation, and eventual re-scoring, of H. R. Hempel's Cubs on Parade March and Two-Step, a long-forgotten march celebrating the 1907 World Series Champion Chicago Cubs. This project culminated in the first performance of the march in many years, with the University of Illinois Wind Orchestra, under my direction, performing the re-scored version of the march, in April of 2015.
