Shane Mills
I'm a freelance percussionist living in Central Florida. I started playing professionally while attending
the University of Central Florida. After completing my degree at Rollins College in Winter Park, I moved
to Rochester, NY, for graduate studies at the Eastman School of Music. In 2003, I enlisted in the Army
as a percussionist for the TRADOC Band at Fort Monroe, VA. I returned to Florida
in 2006, and now perform with different orchestras and bands.
