Eric is currently a Masters student (MM Bass Trombone Performance) at the University of Maryland, where he studies with NSO Bass Trombonist Matt Guilford. Last year, Eric was the band director at East Rutherford High School. He has subbed regularly with the Hendersonville, and Western Piedmont Symphonies, in addition to a few appearances with the Brevard Philharmonic and the Charlotte Civic Orchestra. 

Allen is currently the band director of Northside High School in Beaufort County, NC. He teaches the Marching Band, Chorus, and spends some time at the neighboring middle schools. Allen still plays his Euphonium along with his students when he gets the chance. He is also working on his trumpet and woodwind playing ability; as for now, the 6th graders are the only ones who are impressed. Allen feels that the best way for high school students to improve is to take a focused studio style approach to practicing in addition to their ensemble rehearsals.
