He also participated in various concert bands, Gold and Black Sound, and Boiler Brass. He was a Gold level member of the Volunteer Management Team and served as the Technology Team Lead for the 2018 and 2019 years. Humza continued to serve Purdue Bands and Orchestras as a volunteer until 2022, when he was hired part-time. In 2023, he transitioned to his current full-time position. His primary duties include updating and maintaining the Purdue Bands & Orchestras website, producing digital and printed media, and advising the Technology Team.
Humza also takes great interest in the science (and art) of classical music recording techniques in both live and studio situations.
