Brandon Clark (he/him) started his music journey at 8 years old, taking piano lessons from a local teacher. It wasn’t until experiencing middle school band as a trombone player when his love for the performing arts really took off. Brandon switched to tuba his freshman year of high school and has been improving and performing ever since. He currently resides in the Phoenix area as he finishes his Bachelor’s degree in Music Learning and Teaching at Arizona State University.
Brandon has been lucky enough to receive a wide variety of performance opportunities. While in high school, he performed with the school’s top concert band, jazz band, and marching band, earning superior ratings as well as a championship title and multiple music caption awards. He recently ended his marching career, having been a performing member with the Blue Stars Drum and Bugle Corps from 2020 to 2023, with the group being Drum Corps International World Championship Finalist both competitive seasons that he was a member. During his time with the Blue Stars, Brandon acted as section leader for his last season and was a performing member when the organization received its highest score in corps history. Brandon currently performs frequently with the ASU Wind Symphony and Tuba/Euphonium Ensemble.
As a young music educator, Brandon aims to make the performing arts as valuable and enriching for his students as it was for him. He has had the privilege of teaching for multiple award-winning schools/groups in and around Phoenix, including Foreword Indoor Winds, Millennium High School, and Desert Ridge High School (2023 State Champions and Music Caption winners). When not busy teaching, working, or going to school, Brandon loves to read, attend live music and performances, and spend time with his friends and family.
