PNNMB is a family, and I’m honored to be a part of something as truly special as this.

Brandon Burnette is a junior at UNC Charlotte, majoring in business management with a concentration in talent management. Upon graduation he plans to work as a talent agent, and one day run his own agency. This is his third year as a member of PNNMB’s trumpet section. In his free time, Brandon loves watching movies and playing basketball with his friends.

Brandon is from Graham, North Carolina, and graduated from Eastern Alamance High School in 2016. He played trumpet as a member of the Eastern Alamance Marching Eagles all four years, serving as section leader his senior year. Brandon’s favorite part about being in marching band is meeting and getting to know so many friendly people.

Here’s what Brandon has to say about the PNNMB:

“This band has been such a great experience for me. I have experienced so many different things while being a part of the PNNMB. We performed as the halftime entertainment for the Carolina Panthers and I also had the opportunity to travel to France. The band has helped me get to know many different people from a variety of backgrounds. PNNMB is a family, and I’m honored to be a part of something as truly special as this.”
