About Me

My name is Eric Fahrlander, and I am the director of the high school band program. I have enjoyed 35 years of teaching, having taught in both Texas and Nebraska. Currently I teach marching band, concert band, jazz band, and guitar at the high school, as well as team teach at the middle school with Mrs. Anderson.

I have been a recipient of the NSBA Jack R. Snider Young Band Directors Award, have been the Chairman of Band Affairs for NMEA, and conducted numerous honor bands around the state. I just retired from the 43rd Army National Guard Band after 39 years of service, where I performed tuba and served as First Sergeant with the unit.

My wife (Julie) and I reside in Crete and have two adult children (Stephan and Rae).
