Accompanist needed for Springfield, MO area

[Aubrey Foard]

Unfortunately, the accompanist I hired to do a competition in Springfield this Saturday phoned me last night informing me that the piece (John Williams) was too hard. Any of you guys in the Springfield or Kansas City able to help me out and recommend someone? Preferably someone who deals often with brass players or is very experienced with contemporary (but not too contemporary) rep.

Thanks!

I feel for your situation, and I assume that you have called everyone at Southwest Missouri State University. Maybe the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville might have someone willing for the right money, considering the hour drive one way.

Wish I could be more help, but I am across the state on the Northeast side.
