    Mr. McNair was recognized at the 2016 TCU Trombone Summit and presented the “Unsung Hero Award” for his contributions to the trombone community through teaching and performance. Also in 2016, he was named Teacher of the Year for Argyle Intermediate School.
     

    Mr. McNair earned a Bachelor of Music Education degree from East Texas State University where his primary teachers were Dr. Neill H. Humfeld and Jimmy Clark. He also earned a Master of Music in trombone performance from Texas A&M University-Commerce.
     

    Mr. McNair resides in Hurst with his lovely wife, Christin McNair, who is a band director in the Mansfield Independent School District. He is very proud of his son, James Thomas McNair, III who is a freshman Sports Management major at Texas Tech University. In his free time, Mr. McNair enjoys road trips, cycling, hiking, live music, and working part-time at Revolver Brewing in Granbury, Texas.
     

    Lastly, Mr. McNair would like to thank Steve Bell of Bell’s Music for the beautiful custom finish on the Bach 36 Stradivarius he is using in today’s performance of “Bolivar!”
