Please welcome our two new band staff members, Mr. Travis
Treadwell and Mrs. Jennifer Teed! After
weeks of interviews where we narrowed the list of candidates down to a second
round and then finally down to a third round, Mr. Treadwell and Mrs. Teed were the
unanimous choices by all of those who were involved in the interview and

Band and will enjoy meeting and getting to know each of them in the weeks and
months to come. Please read more about
