Saucedo will be giving local band directors and music students a brief clinic session on rehearsal techniques. In addition to working with the Honors Band students, Saucedo will be rehearsing with CU's Concert Band with his composition titled "Walking into History," which will be presented in a separate concert on Feb. 24 at 8 p.m. in Ransdell Chapel.

He works on the writing staff for the Hal Leonard Publishing Corporation.

He is retired from the William H. Duke Center for the Performing Arts at Carmel High School (CHS) of Carmel, Ind. During his 31 years serving, CHS bands received several state and national honors for concert band, jazz band and marching band.

The CHS Marching Band was named BOA National Champions in 2005 and 2012.
