Graduate Assistant of The Ohio State University Marching Band, Roger served as
associate director of band at the University of Rhode Island and Iowa State University
where he directed the Marching Band, Concert Band, Basketball Pep Band and taught
music courses on the undergraduate level. In 1995, he resigned his position at Iowa
State University to devote full time to composing and arranging.
As a freelance composer and arranger, Roger writes for high school, university and
professional bands, professional orchestras, and the commercial music industry. He has
over 300 compositions and arrangements to his name. Included in those are
publications by Kendor Music, Psyclone Music, Heritage Music, Great Works
Publishing, Band Music Press, Daehn Publications, Wingert-Jones Music, MSB
Publishing, C. Alan Publications, Ludwig Music Publishing, Permus Publications, and
Kalmus Music. His composition teachers include Edward Montgomery, Marshall
Barnes and Joseph Levey. Roger has received numerous composition awards from The
American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) for serious music.
His works range from small ensembles literature to compositions and arrangements for
marching band, concert band, and symphonic orchestra. He is widely sought as a
composer for commissions and frequently appears as a composer-in-residence and
guest conductor.
The music of Roger Cichy is continually being performed throughout the United State
and abroad including Japan, England, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Australia, Russia
and Mexico. His works have also been performed at many prestigious conventions
including the Midwest International Band and Orchestra Clinics, CBDNA National and
Regional Conventions, ASBDA Conventions, MENC National and Regional
Conventions, several All-State Festivals and appear on many contest lists throughout
the country.
