I, along with many others in the HBCU Band world, have felt a distinct absence in excitement, entertainment and musicianship since the departure of Nathan Haymer as a Collegiate Band Director.

Nathan is a vibrant talent, an exceptional leader, innovative music arranger, media expert, and an absolute professional icon in the band world.

The void felt since his dismissal is not just personal to me, but to countless others who have been impacted by his leadership and musical excellence. HBCU bands, renowned for their rich heritage and tradition, have always valued and encouraged demonstrative leadership.

Nathan Haymer embodies this spirit and has consistently proven his mettle throughout his tenure as a band director. By hiring Nathan Haymer, you will not only fill a tangible void but also reinstate a legacy of musical excellence and uncompromised dedication.

Let us bring back the ingenuity, the excitement, and the dedicated leadership of Nathan Haymer to the HBCU Band community.
