About Roger
Roger Fletcher is a longtime band director, composer of music for school and professional bands, and trumpet player. He has performed with recording artists Cher, Paul Anka, Louis Bellson, the O'Jays, and many more.

He lives with his wife and two dogs in the natural beauty outside Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he is an active member of the musical community.
