Chaz Bledsoe

Corps Director

Chaz Bledsoe is in his fourth season leading Music City Drum Corps, where his love for performance, people, and progress come together every day. His journey with Music City Youth in the Arts started back in 2019 as part of the Young Leaders Council of Nashville. From there, he served on the organization’s Board of Directors and as Vice President before stepping into the role of Corps Director in 2022.

Chaz has spent over 15 years involved in music education and the pageantry arts, and he continues to share that passion as a percussion instructor at Mt. Juliet High School and President of the board for the Southeastern Color Guard Circuit (SCGC). He earned his degree in Organizational Leadership from Bethel University and also brings experience in Human Resources and Total Rewards to his leadership approach.

When he’s not on working or in rehearsal, you can find him in Mt. Juliet with his wife Sandi and their dogs, Oliver and Tess—and more often than not, with a cup of coffee in his hand as he plans what’s next for the season or their next trip.
