Allan McMurray's career includes 35 years as Chair of the Conducting Faculty and Director of Bands at the University of Colorado-Boulder.  Having only played the trumpet in his high school orchestra, this pre-law major's love of music led him to a career that has had a profound impact on band directors of all levels.  He is a conductor, clinician and teacher par excellence, and the experiences Allan shares provides us a clear vision into a man who has a passion for music and for music making.
