"The Indispensable Man" with script by Dr. Myles Lee will be scored for narrator and band. Lee has crafted a dramatic and moving portrait of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's using the President's own words. Bond will be underscoring this text with music inspired by the big-band era.

"The Page Turner" is a humerous work that Bond is writing for pianist Kathleen Supove. The work will be premiered during the 2009-2010 season.

Storyteller Bill Gordh and Bond are teaming up to write a treatment of one of the Brer Rabbit stories scored for banjo and small ensemble.
