Brian Waddle joined the Diamond M Club board in 2015, where he serves as in-residence branding and marketing guru.  Brian won't confirm when he joined the Mustang Band, only that he graduated from SMU in 1993.  He stayed on campus for one more year to work as Assistant to the Director in 1994, during which time he helped start the expanded Mustang Band drum line in its current format.  Currently, Brian is the director of brand management for the Houston Community College System, one of the largest singularly-accredited higher education institutions in the nation. He's also a travel writer for OutSmart magazine and husband to UH grad Kevin Hamby, which makes for fun game days in October.  One of his proudest moments with the Mustang Band was conducting the national anthem at the Rose Bowl for the 1994 SMU-UCLA  game.
