Miranda Watkins, percussion

Miranda grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina and has been part of the WSO since 2020. She works at the local Music & Arts in town as well as with the new Live Nation venue. She received her Master of Arts in Music Business through Berklee College of Music and her undergraduate here at UNC Wilmington with a concentration in percussion.  

Miranda also performs with other local ensembles such as the Wilmington Symphonic Winds. She has also previously performed with various WGI indoor percussion ensembles including Palmetto Percussion and Paradigm Percussion. She has previously instructed multiple drumlines and front ensembles across North Carolina as well.  
 
When not playing percussion, Miranda enjoys spending her free time at the beach, brewery hopping, and hanging out with her big-eared shepherd named Skye. Feel free to visit her at Music & Arts, as she loves helping other musicians whenever possible!
