Raised in Grand Junction, Andrew Bruington graduated from Central High School. He holds a bachelors in music education from Colorado State University and a masters in music education from Central Washington University through the American Band College.
Andrew has been the band director at Delta Middle School since 2008, and since 2010, he has performed as a percussionist with the VSA Orchestra and Chorus as well as with the Valley Youth Orchestra.
When not playing or teaching, he enjoys playing board games with his wife, Kayln, and friends and taking care of his fur baby, Sydney.
“The VSA has afforded me the opportunity to play music beyond what I do during the school day and given me the chance to play with musicians from all walks of life and from all over the Valleys,” he said. “This is exactly what music is supposed to do: connect people together.”
