About: I am Silas Josephson, the Band Director at Hilburn Academy. I was born and raised in Wake County, and I earned my Bachelor's degree in 2020 from Western Carolina University, where I studied Music Education and Tuba. I've had the opportunity to perform music in various cities across the USA, including St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, and at the 2019 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. Currently, I reside in Cary with my girlfriend Brooklynn and our pit bull, Henry. When I'm not teaching band, I love playing tuba, traveling, attending symphony concerts, and cheering on NC State sports.
