Meet the Instructor
Mr. Christopher Gazze - Percussion Instructor
As a 2002 graduate of Greensburg Salem High School, Chris was inspired by his high school band director and drum instructor to make the most of band experience. He began playing drums in fourth grade and continued through high school, participating in concert band, marching band and percussion ensemble.
As a senior, Chris was selected to be the drumline section leader and won the Semper Fidelis Award for Musical Excellence. He continued his musical career while attending Saint Vincent College. He was a four-year member of the Pep Band and also performed in the pit orchestra for Children of Eden and Guys and Dolls. He has since performed in the pit orchestra for Greensburg Salem's production of West Side Story. He assisted with the Greater Latrobe Marching Band's drumline for one band camp as well as with the Greensburg Salem drumline for spring rehearsals. He has also assisted with the Greensburg Salem Elementary Band.
Chris officially joined the Greensburg Salem Marching Band as Percussion Instructor in 2009. He believes in maximizing the students potential through hard work and doing things the right way, all while having fun. He is also a Physics teacher at the high school as well as the co-advisor for the Student Council Association and Boys' Varsity Tennis Head Coach.
