Paul Curci (Percussion Coach)

Paul Curci has been a percussion educator in Ventura County since 2003.  He has had the pleasure of working with such established high school programs as Newbury Park and Moorpark, and began working with Buena High School in the fall of 2006.

Paul has been fortunate to march in such independent ensembles as the Black Knights Drum Corps, Pulse Percussion Ensemble, Mystikal D&B Corps, Impulse D&B Corps, and the Santa Clara Vanguard D&B Corps.  Throughout his marching career, Paul had the honor of learning from such instructors as Mike Jackson, Micah Hardawick, Bill Garcia, Dawn Garcia, Scott Quintana, Eric Shriver, Ken McGrath, Ike Jackson, Caleb Rothe, Ian Grom, and John Mapes.

Paul finished his Bachelors in Liberal Studies (Teaching and Education) at CSU Channel Islands in the spring of 2008.

As an alumni of Buena High School, Paul is honored and excited to be given the opportunity to pass on his experience to a new generation of growing Buena musicians.
