Wally Hunt doesn’t move to the beat of a different drummer.

He’s the different drummer, the one who writes and arranges marches used by his Grange Middle School Blue Ranger marching band – and any other middle school or small high school band that uses his work.

Hunt, 58, has been a music teacher in the Fairfield-Suisun School District for 26 years, the last seven as band director at Grange, the previous 17 at then Dover Middle School, the rest split between Amy Blanc, David Weir and Fairview elementary schools.
