Wayne Dyess
Lead Trombone and Leader
(Founder and Musical Director)

The founder of the Night & Day Orchestra is a former trombone section leader and tour soloist with a band known as “The World’s Finest”, the United States Navy Band in Washington, D.C. Wayne served in the Navy Band from 1971 to 1975, performing for countless thousands and always getting a standing ovation with his virtuoso performance of Claude T. Smith’s “Rhapsody for Trombone” based on the haunting melody from Tommy Dorsey’s “Gettin’ Sentimental Over You.” http://www.navyband.navy.mil/

Wayne continues to tour our nation's towns and cities with Keith Brion and his New Sousa Band. Mr. Brion appears throughout the world as a guest conductor and is considered by many to be the foremost authority on John Phillip Sousa, along with historian and author Paul Bierley. Mr. Brion asked Mr. Dyess to join the band after hearing him play Arthur Pryor’s “Blue Bells of Scotland” with the Symphony of Southeast Texas in 1993. Wayne’s first appearance with the New Sousa Band was that same year in Branson, Missouri where the band performed in the Christy Lane Theatre for a one week run. Dyess has since toured from L.A. to Orlando and Vermont to New Orleans with the band, highlights have been a 3 week tour of Japan in August 1996 and a China tour in 2011. http://www.newsousaband.com

Carl continues a tradition of Lamar alumni in NDO except for one small point, he isn't an alumnus yet. He is an outstanding music major at Lamar which covers the important part.
