Stamp served as conductor of the Duke University Wind Symphony and the Triangle British Brass Band (his first exposure to the British brass band style) and became chair of the Division of Fine Arts at Campbell University in North Carolina. In the early '90s, Stamp joined the faculty of his alma mater, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, as professor of music and conductor of bands. He remained in that position until 2015.
