Brandon began his journey into music in the 5th grade playing the Euphonium. Since then his musical adventure has been rewarding. He attended NAU Summer Music camp for 6 years while in band programs through high school. In 2003, Brandon was the principal euphonium player for the Arizona All-State Band. From high school Brandon was accepted to Arizona State University where he received his music education from world-renowned performing artists Sam Pilafian and Patrick Sheridan. Brandon was a member of the Academy Drum and Bugle corps in 2004 where he was able to participate in DCI competition. Currently, Brandon loves to perform with his euphonium as a member of the Salt River Brass Band and dedicates himself to the education of his own young musicians at Basha High School.
