Brandon Clark

Brass Team

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, further fueling his passion for playing and performing. He currently resides in Mesa, Arizona as he starts his first year as a band teacher for Kerr and Eisenhower Elementary Schools.

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 also performed 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, Sandra Day O’Connor High School, Basha High School and Desert Ridge High School (2023 State Champions and Music Caption winners). In 2024, Brandon was invited back to the Blue Stars as a tuba technician where he continues to teach at the world class level.

When not busy teaching or working, Brandon loves to read, attend live music and performances, and spend time with his friends and family.
