    About Dan D.

    I've been playing the trombone professionally in the Los Angles area for 10 years. I am currently serving our country in the 300th Army Band. In the 300th Army Band, I have been able to perform across the country playing in many different ensembles and musical styles, including wind ensemble, ceremonial band, chamber ensembles, jazz combos, and ska. In June of 2018, I was hired to play the trombone in the Pixarmonic Orchestra at Disney's California Adventure Park. The Pixarmonic Orchestra played fun and zany arrangements of classic Pixar songs. I freelance with various top 40's pop groups and Latin groups in the Los Angles area. I recently have been hired to play the trombone for the Misfit Brass at Sea World, San Diego.

    I was the coach for the jazz band trombone and trumpet sections. As the coach, I conducted sectionals and gave private lessons to the students. Using pedagogies from the Emory Remington and William Adam, I taught the students to play their instrument efficiently with good tone and intonation. I also assisted the band director in rehearsing the jazz band.
