About

Chris Bunner (he/him/his) Chris Bunner is a composer and arranger for the marching arts. Throughout his design career, he has drawn upon his experience as a band director, his passion for student success, and his love of music to create exciting shows with maximum effect, educational value, and engagement at the heart of each production.

Chris has taught hundreds of students from schools in Texas, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia, ranging from elementary age to collegiate. While working as a band director, his ensembles regularly achieved highly and appeared in state-level adjudicated contests. Even after redirecting his career from teaching fulltime to design, working with students to build success has remained a core value. During the marching season, Chris travels to work directly with students to build upon the foundations created in his musical designs.

Chris is a proud alumnus of St. Marys High School and Marshall University, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Education PreK-12. Chris’s most influential teachers include Martin Saunders, Stephen Lawson, Mark Zanter, Adam Dalton, Brian Walden, and Les Paul. In his spare time, he enjoys cooking, caring for far too many houseplants, annoying his dog, and spending time with friends and family.
