Commissioned for the Ainsworth High School Band, Ainsworth, Nebraska and dedicated to the life of Duane S. Osborn, inventor, supporter, creator, father, friend and great helper and champion of B.E.A.T.: Bejot's Ensemble of Acoustic Troubadours.

STEAMPUNK is an exciting, medium easy (grade 3) work for concert band that features driving rhythms, lyrical melodies and sufficient cross-scoring to support younger and less experienced players.
