The MSK is proud to welcome Dr. Turner Gray as the new assistant director to our athletic bands program!

Before arriving at Rutgers, Dr. Gray was the Pep Band Director at La Salle University in Philadelphia, PA. He holds degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Washington State University, and The Florida State University College of Music. His research is focused on how the marching arts can be a beneficial teaching tool for all students—especially music majors. As an active performer, adjudicator, and clinician, Dr. Gray has been featured at many conferences including the International Women’s Conference, the Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic, and various tuba/euphonium conferences.

Congratulations Dr. Gray! We are so excited for all that you will bring to our band program!
