In January 2017, Central Florida Sounds of Freedom Band and Color Guard, Orlando’s own LGBT+ concert and marching band, appointed their new artistic director, Chris Green. Mr. Green brings a wealth of experience and knowledge with him to the task of growing Central Florida Sounds of Freedom Band and Color Guard, both artistically and in membership with over 25 years experience in bands, drum and bugle corps, pageantry and winter guard. He has been an adjudicator, arranger and clinician for marching, concert, jazz bands, winter percussion and winterguards across the country. Chris most recently served as the Director of Bands for Adamson HS in Dallas TX from 2010 – 2016 taking the program from 12 to over 200, winning accolades in USBands, Bands of America, and North Texas Colorguard Association. He won the Dallas Rotary Club Teacher of the Year in 2014, and was the Adamson HS Teacher of the Year through the Distinguished Teacher Review in 2015. He also won the Farmer’s Insurance Dream Big Teacher of the Year grant to provide $100,000 worth of new equipment for the Band Program. “Chris’s proven commitment to LGBT+ issues as well as his experience in creating and growing community music programs made him a natural fit for our expanding organization” says band President, Joseph Kennedy. Currently Mr. Green works with Bands, Corps, and Soundsport Groups all over the United States.
