I had the pleasure to work collaboratively with the FIU Marching Band and Music Program Director, Barry Bernhardt to produce all the soundtracks for the beIN Sports' College Football coverage. Together, along with 60+ young musicians, we worked a month worth of ensemble and rehearsals. A total of 11 separate theme songs were produced and recorded in a single 10-hour shift at the studios.

Broadcast Graphic + Music Integration
Aside from using the recorded soundtracks across promos and social media posts, the music was also intended to be used for all broadcast graphic elements. Every bounce was married, cut and prepared to a specific GFX within the pre-game, gamecast and post match shows.
