Luke Allred teaching a marching percussion student

Luke Allred has lived the activity from the inside. He started his DCI career at 16 and went on to march with Revolution (2012), Crossmen (2013–2014), and The Cavaliers (2015–2016).

In the concert hall, Luke studied under Dr. Blake Tyson and Dr. Justin Bunting at the university level, building a deep foundation in technique, sound, and musical approach.

He currently serves as Battery Coordinator for Lotus Percussion, Arkansas' independent indoor marching ensemble and an Open Class member of WGI. Luke has also instructed drumlines at Cabot, Robinson, Parkview, and Central high schools in the Little Rock area.

Beyond the lot, Luke has coached the Arkansas Symphony Youth Orchestra percussion section and performed with the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, connecting marching demands with professional-level musicianship.
