Meet Brock Gayaut - Color Guard Consultant
So since I’m not quite done with my performing days yet I’m pretty fresh into teaching. This is basically my first director position so I’m glad things have been going in a positive direction so far!
Do you play any instruments?
I played french horn in high school and loved it, I would still play to this day if I owned a horn.
What’s your favorite Color Guard memory from any point in your life?
It’s hard to narrow down a specific favorite memory from my color guard experience but if I had to pick one it would be performing in DCI finals. It’s cool to think that everyone who loves the activity like I do was watching the production that I worked so hard to be a part of.
What do you like to do for fun?
For fun I love going to Austin's many greenbelts.. I also am currently performing with a world class winter guard that takes up a lot of my time and energy.
If you could have dinner with three people living or dead, who would you choose and why?
If I could have dinner with any three people that ever existed it would probably be Susan Sarandon, The Dalai Lama, and Andy Warhol. That would be a really interesting dinner to say the least.
And as for the song at the top of my playlist, it’s the music for the winter guard show this up coming season and it’s driving me literally insane because of how much thought I’m putting into everything!!
