He has been a member of the Palo Verde Brass Quintet, Live Oak Brass Quintet, and Georgia Brass, along with many collegiate bands, orchestras, and trumpet ensembles.

Dr. Hunt’s students regularly earn spots with the Texas 6A All-State, Area, and Region Bands and Orchestras, as well as the Greater-Dallas Youth Orchestra, Lone Star Youth Orchestra, and Lone Star Wind Orchestra.
