Working with Levi on our custom arrangements and compositions was a game-changer at The University of Texas. His skill as an arranger immediately transformed the sound of our music book and the students always enjoyed playing his music the most. His ear and his ability to arrange in any genre while customizing it to the specific strengths of the ensemble set him apart from many others and I continue to recommend Levi for arranging opportunities to colleagues around the country. His music will remain an important part of the Longhorn Band and Longhorn Pep Band's libraries for years to come.
