Patch Portrait: Inside a High School Band Director’s Music Room

For 23 years Libertyville resident Daniel Brame has been the band director at Deerfield High School.

“I had a love for music and so becoming a high school band director seemed to be my life calling,” he reminisced of his decision to get a degree in music education back when he was a teenager.

Ever since, Brame has been fine-tuning the music department at DHS and hopes his students enjoy their time with him as much as he enjoys his time with them.

“I love being able to share things that I’m passionate about and to show students why they can be passionate about it too.”
