Entering his fifth year as the assistant band director at Grapevine High School in Dallas, Texas, Pipitone is responsible for music theory and history history classes, the Jazz Band, the School musical, and all percussion activities from Grades 6 – 12.

several performance lectures at colleges and universities each year. Armstrong is currently Master Tambor for Sosyete Du Marche, an

American Vodou House in Philadelphia.

In addition to his world music background, Armstrong is an accomplished drumset artist, jazz vibraphonist, and symphonic percussionist.

His berimbau sextet, “Bau House,” has premiered five new works in as many years and has performed at PASIC 2009. His own compositions, Bahian Counterpoint (2002) and Vou-me embora (2006) have garnered multiple performances, prizes and positive reviews.

He endorses Bosphorus cymbals, Innovative Percussion sticks and mallets, Pearl/Adams percussion instruments, and Evans Drumheads.
