His ensembles collaborated with guest artists such as clarinetist, Julie DeRoche and hornist, Lisa Bontrager, and his work was recognized in national publications for its creativity and student engagement.

In 2018, he moved to the Hampton Roads area and began his tenure at Great Bridge Middle School. At GBMS, Mr. Graybill fosters a culture built on curiosity, teamwork, and steady growth.

Outside the classroom, Mr. Graybill has conducted student ensembles through eight European countries as part of the American Music Abroad Silver Tour, helping young musicians share their craft and build cultural bridges through performance. He also enjoys personal travel and outdoor exploration, often seeking out art, history, and hidden-gem cafés along the way. He shares life with his partner, Stephanie, and their two entertaining cats, Artie and Sherlock. Whether close to home or farther afield, he finds inspiration in the everyday moments that connect people, music, and meaning. 

Mr. Graybill looks forward to welcoming your family into Great Bridge’s vibrant musical community.
