David Crawford was born in Georgia, USA in 1969. His father is a Methodist minister and his mother a middle school teacher. He attended a university in Alabama and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education. Today he is happily married with two young, wonderful daughters, and has been teaching at the same school for his entire teaching career. He taught middle school band for 7 1/2 years then switched to the computer lab so he could spend evenings with his daughters instead of on the marching band rehearsal field.

With a variety of brass instruments, David has played with the Rome (GA) Symphony Orchestra, the 8th Regiment Civil War Band, and the Roman Festival Brass.
