Biography[edit]
Randall Standridge was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. He grew up in the suburbs of Little Rock and attended Sheridan High School. During his childhood, Standridge's brothers tutored him in music, both in singing and in instrumental, though all training was by ear. During this time, Standridge began experimenting with composition.
Standridge received a Bachelor of Music Education in Instrumental Music from Arkansas State University. During his time there, Standridge began studying composition formally with Tom O'Connor. Upon graduating in 2001, he began his tenure as the Director of Bands at Harrisburg High School in Harrisburg, Arkansas. It was during this tenure that his music began to be performed more widely. In 2009, he received a Masters of Music in Composition from Arkansas State University, again studying with O'Connor and with Tim Crist. In 2013, he began a career as a full time composer and designer for the marching arts.
