Hello! My name is Mr. Brimm and I teach 5th Grade Beginning Band, 6th Grade Cadet Band, 7th/8th Grade Concert Band, the CCMS Marching Band, CCMS Jazz Band, and the morning section of 6th Grade General Music.

This will be my second year teaching in Coal City, but my 5th year teaching band. Previously, I was the 5th-12th Grade Band and Choir Director at Indian Creek CUSD #425 which is just South of DeKalb, IL. I grew up in Braidwood and graduated from Reed-Custer High School before attending Joliet Junior College and Northern Illinois University. During my time in college, I was on staff with the Downer's Grove South High School Marching Band, marched Drum Corp International with Music City Drum and Bugle Corps (2015) and the Madison Scouts (2016-2018), and have performed with local community bands. I live in Plainfield with my wife Rachel, my son Justin, daughter Melanie, and our two cats Spud and Ruthie.
