Congratulations to Lance Sitton, a sophomore at Friendswood High School in Texas, for being selected as the winner of the 2025 TBA Student Melody Composition Competition, sponsored by Conn Selmer! Lance’s original composition, The King’s Constable, will serve as the thematic material for a new wind symphony piece, which will premiere in July by the USAF Band of the West during the annual Texas Bandmasters Association Conference. A dedicated tuba player and passionate young composer, Lance recently earned first place in Music Production at the Technology Student Association State Conference and will compete at the National Competition in Nashville in summer 2025.
