Chris Forsythe

Senior Travel Designer

Chris Forsythe has always had a passion for music and the arts. Growing up on the west side of Indianapolis, Chris played tuba in the Avon High School Band program, studying privately with ED's own Mark Harting! His experience in speech and musical theater has been an asset in the education world and the travel industry. He studied music education at the University of Louisville and Ball State University, completing a Bachelor of Science in Music Education. He served as the Director of Bands at Lone Oak High School in Paducah, KY and Assistant Director of Bands at Pendleton Heights High School in Pendleton, IN. When an opportunity arose to join the Educational Destinations team, he eagerly accepted.

Chris continues to be active in the Indianapolis music scene as a substitute member of the Indiana Wind Symphony and Artistic Director of the Pride of Indy Concert Band. He also assists several area marching bands in the summer and fall as his schedule allows, along with tour directing several trips a year. From drum corps, to staying active on the road and in the gym to college basketball, Chris’ interests are diverse, and his attention to detail is perfect, making every trip the best possible experience for all involved.
