Nerd Herd Gifts & Games is located at 10 York St. Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Nerd Herd is a concept store that is run and managed by local area middle school, high school, and college students and is sponsored by local businesswoman, Timbrel Wallace and her husband Scott, owners of Lark - Modern Marketplace in downtown Gettysburg, PA. Under the direction of the Wallace’s and a parental advisory board, the teens, also referred to as “the Herd”, are learning valuable business and life skills throughout their experience of building this small business from the ground up. They have been responsible for accounting, finance, marketing, information technology, and store operations. They’ve gone to wholesale trade shows in New York, Indianapolis and Atlanta and have handpicked the products in the store as well as refurbished, painted, decorated, and maintained the store’s appearance. But most importantly, “the Herd” is concentrated on building a fun, safe, and exceptionally nerdy place for people of all ages to come, socialize and find some cool stuff. They want this store to be an opportunity for members of the community to come together and enjoy each others’ company and interests; because everyone really is a nerd about something.

In addition, he teaches conducting, music education, music technology, and supervises student teachers in the field.

Dr. McCutcheon received his Ph.D. in Music Education with a concentration in Wind Con-ducting from the University of Florida in Gainesville and earned an M.S. in Music Educa-tion from Troy University in Troy, Alabama.

He has been a guest conductor at the WASBE 2005 International Conference in Singapore and in 2009 was in residence as invited guest conductor with the Universidad de Caldas Wind Ensemble in Manizales, Colombia as part of the 15th Annual Yamaha Latin American Wind Band Conference.

In 2016, McCutcheon was named an American Prize Finalist in the Conducting: University and College Bands Division of The American Prize national non-profit competitions in the performing arts. Of his conducting, composer Steven Bryant said: “Russell McCutcheon brings a unique mix of talents and experience to his music-making…my work, Ecstatic Waters, requires the players and the conductor to go above and beyond their usual roles, and he demonstrated fantastic attention to both the musical and the technical details of my music.” In 2013, the Sunderman Conservatory Wind Symphony released a recording titled “Gettysburg at 150: Music of the American Civil War.” This disc, commemorating the Sesquicentennial Anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg, was named 2013 Grammy nomination eligible in two categories.

Of Volume I, composer Adam Gorb noted: “I loved your performance of French Dances Revisited…your ensemble plays the work so sensitively and with such spirit.” Volume II was Grammy nomination eligible for the categories Best Orchestral Performance and Album of the Year. McCutcheon is the Conductor and Musical Director of the Pennsylvania Lions All-State Band, which performs yearly in Pennsylvania and regularly tours nationally and internationally. He is a contribu-tor to the best-selling book series, “Teaching Music through Performance in Bands,” and is an active clinician and guest conductor.
