Net Luck Soaring

Net Luck Soaring was written to celebrate the life of Noppanut Lucksanawichien (known as “Net Luck” to those who knew him), a clarinet and percussion player, whose love of life sent him soaring through the sky like a carefree bird, dipping and diving with exhilaration, bringing happiness to all those around him. It was commissioned by Laura Cross and the band parents of Leander High School (Tx.), and was a gift to the band honoring the man and his family. It strives to capture the journey of life, both calm and perilous, among the friends and family who love us most.
