John Alan Carnahan is in demand as guest conductor both nationally and internationally. He has conducted bands across the country and his performances are enthusiastically received by students, directors, and audiences alike.
Many thanks for a spectacular job with the Nebraska All-State Band. The response from my bandsmen was uniformly enthusiastic!

Your interpretation of the music performed was outstanding and was a sure crowd-pleaser with the members of the California Band Directors Association.
