Matthew Dulas is a new TA for the Hawkeye Marching Band. He brings with him a history of marching band experience, including serving as drum major for both his high school and college marching bands. Matthew recently received his Bachelor of Music Education from South Dakota State University and studied euphonium with Kevin Kessler and Bradley Snyder. As a low brass player, Matthew continually seeks out opportunities to play in both large and small ensembles, competitions, honor bands, and other gigs. His love of playing has led him to perform in locations such as Boston, MA; Athens, Georgia; and Schladming, Austria. Outside of performing, Matthew enjoys composing music, conducting, and teaching. When he's not caught up in something music-related, Matthew is both a board game fanatic and an outdoorsman.
