Traveling the world and playing music for a living sounds glamorous, but there's a lot more to this profession than meets the eye. In Part one of this candid interview, Bill lets us in on the journey he took to become a thriving and successful freelance musician. We start at the beginning, learning how he got into music, his drum corps career, touring the world with blast! and freelance gigs! He even lets us in on some mistakes he's made in the past and how the lessons he learned helped him get to where he is today.

Bill is a multi-instrumentalist, best-selling author, producer and educator known as the “Tuba Visionary.” 

Bill marched with the Boston Crusaders Drum and Bugle Corps for 5 seasons on Tuba and after aging out, he joined the cast of the Emmy and Tony Award winning show Blast! He toured for 6 years with the company, performing throughout North America, Japan, and South Korea. Bill has also taught multiple drum corps including the Boston Crusaders, Crossmen, and the Colts and is currently a show designer and arranger for various ensembles across the country.
