Before his role at Washington State University, Sweet served as the Associate Director of the “All-American” Marching Band, where he was the primary drill designer, and as the Assistant Director of Bands at Purdue University. He had previously spent 11 years as a public-school band director in Texas, where his ensembles consistently achieved superior ratings, best in class awards, best in festival awards, outstanding visual awards, and outstanding general effect awards.
