GULF SHORES HIGH SCHOOL SYMPHONIC BAND
Gulf Shores High School is located in the lower portion of Alabama and has long been known as Alabama’s premier vacation getaway. Enrollment at Gulf Shores High School typically is around 800 students. The Gulf Shores Symphonic Winds is in its sixth year under the direction of Tim Brannan. During those six years the band has grown from less than 30 members to 115 this year. During that time the band has never received less than a superior rating at any festival or competition attended. The band has traveled to Orlando, Hawaii and will be traveling to New York this spring to participate in the St. Patrick’s Day parade. Mr. Brannan collaborates with fellow director Ryan England to teach at Gulf Shores High School, Gulf Shores Middle School, Gulf Shores Elementary School, Orange Beach Elementary School and Swift Consolidated School.
Tim Brannan is in his fifth year as band director at Gulf Shores High School. Since his arrival the band has placed “superior” at every competition and festival the band has attended. Some of these include the West Mobile Marching Festival, District VII Band Assessment and the Alabama Bandmasters Association State Assessment. Additionally, the band has more than tripled in size in five years and shows promise of continued growth. With the combined efforts of Mr. Brannan and Mr. Ryan England, the recruitment of beginning band members at Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Elementary Schools has grown to over 100 a year. Prior to Gulf Shores, Mr. Brannan taught at Satsuma High School in Mobile, T.R. Miller High School in
Brewton, and Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa. Mr. Brannan’s bands at each school have been rated “superior” at the Alabama Bandmasters State Festival. Additionally, his bands have been seen on MTV, the Chicago St. Patrick’s Day Parade televised on NBC and performed for the Alabama Music Educators Association state conference in 1996.
