Tanner Wise is originally from Anchorage Alaska and has found himself in Utah 18 years later. He graduated from Springville High School in 2022 and is now a current University of Utah Percussion Studio member and a Utah Drumline performer under the direction of Dr. Mike Sammons. He is currently studying Instrumental Music Education and loves to teach and help with any percussion in Utah!

Tanner has recently spent the summer with The Academy Drum and Bugle Corps performing on Snare with the battery and is returning again for the 2023 season. He has a couple of years left with DCI and plans to make the most of it to bring back his experiences and knowledge to Utah and help grow our Percussion/Band community!

When Tanner isn’t busy working with Mountain Ridge or doing everything that comes with being a college student he works on the weekends as a pizza delivery driver (Hey, whatever pays the bills haha) and enjoys hanging with his friends and heading to the golf range when the weather allows. 

Tanner currently Lives in Salt Lake City and enjoys being able to help any percussion program in Utah. He is very thankful to be working with all the staff at Mountain Ridge and is excited to work with and help the students!
