On February 7, 2003, the most successful American woman film composer ever - Los Angeles based Shirley Walker took the podium at Warner Bros. Eastwood Scoring Stage to conduct the first-ever accordion section, part of the 90-piece orchestra that will bring to life her much-anticipated score for New Line's soon to be released remake of the cult classic horror film 'WILLARD' featuring Crispin Glover in the title role. The six accordionists involved in the project included: jazz legend Frank Marocco, Nick Perito, Dart Zubis, Ed Vodicka, Liz Finch and former CIA World Champion accordionist - John Torcello.
