Mr. Thorn comes to us with an impressive background. He recently graduated with his BME from SEMO where he was the principal trombonist for the Wind Symphony. Mr. Thorn also has a minor in jazz studies and many accolades in leadership roles during his time at SEMO. Beyond his college career, he has experience working with the FZN and FZW marching bands as brass and visual technician as well as giving private lessons in his studio.

We are very excited for the new chapter of the band program at Holt and WMS!
