About me
Hi there! My name is Charlie Gessner, and I am the Director of Bands at Blue Ridge Middle School in Greer, South Carolina! I earned a Bachelors of Music Degree in Music Education from Furman University. During my time at Furman, I served as Drum Major of the Paladin Regiment Marching Band and performed on the international stage with the Furman University Percussion Ensemble and Symphonic Band. In my free time, I love to play Tennis/Disc Golf with friends and watch all things Star Wars!
