Picture
Chavadith Tantavirojn [CHA-va-dith TAN-ta-vuh-road] is a renowned composer, arranger, and music educator based in the Bay Area of Northern California. He is the Director of Percussion at Saratoga High School in Saratoga, California, where he oversees the concert percussion program, including all concert bands, symphony orchestra, chamber ensembles, and jazz ensembles. Additionally, Mr. Tantavirojn is the Front Ensemble Caption Head and Arranger for Saratoga High School’s award-winning Marching Band and Winter Percussion since 2016--where he composes for both of these ensembles annually. 

Beyond his involvement with Saratoga High School, Mr. Tantavirojn also directs, composes, and teaches for Cupertino High School in Cupertino, California--a WGI Scholastic World Class Percussion Ensemble (PSW). During the program's first appearance at the prestigious 2023 WGI World Championships in Dayton, OH, Cupertino HS advanced to Finals and placed 6th in the PSW division. 

Specializing in the art of percussive pageantry, Mr. Tantavirojn is currently the Front Ensemble Caption Head and Arranger for the Blue Devils B Drum & Bugle Corps--a position he has held since 2019. He is also on the Front Ensemble staff for the 21-time DCI World Champion Blue Devils Drum & Bugle Corps since the 2022 season. Previously, he was the Front Ensemble Manager for the Santa Clara Vanguard Cadets with four successful seasons winning three DCI Open Class Championships and three High Percussion titles during his tenure.

Mr. Tantavirojn attended the University of California, Santa Barbara and graduated with a Dean’s Honor and a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Composition. He was also a recipient of the Eliz Dineen Scholarship for Music Composition.

When not teaching or composing music, Mr. Tantavirojn enjoys going on his 10-mile runs, traveling, and exploring new places to eat.

Mr. Tantavirojn is a proud endorser of Innovative Percussion sticks and mallets.
