**INCREDIBLE** professor, conductor, and person. Truly one of the greatest people and directors you will come across in your life. His passion for his bands and university is matched only by his infinite musical knowledge and teaching ability. Dr. Griffin is the last truly great music educator left at UI - take all of his classes while you can!

Comment:

Pete has been one of the biggest influences on my life and I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to study with him when I did. He's an absolutely stunning conductor on the podium, very sharp and witty, humorous, driven, and yet still one the best family men I know. His character takes him to where regular band directors cannot even go.

Phenomenal teacher. Very challenging. Knows his stuff better than anyone I've met and applies it in many different ways. I'm very excited for him to conduct the Marching Illini in the fall!
