Meet Ms. Gubler

Welcome to the LQMS STEM Academy Band Website - Home of Bulldog Pride!

I've been teaching at LQMS for more than 30 years!  I never get tired of teaching band, because the band is just a little bit different every year.  I look forward to meeting the new members of our band, and working with our band students to improve each and every day!

I have always loved bands.  I grew up admiring the USC Trojan Marching Band (Dr. Arthur C. Bartner is one of my heroes), and knew that band would always be part of my life.  When I went to college - The University of California at Davis (Go Aggies!) - I knew I wanted to be in the band, but didn't know if I wanted to major in Music or Engineering.  I'm delighted that our school is a STEM school, because now I get to do a little of both.  At UC Davis I had the opportunity to be the Student Director of the California Aggie Marching Band and work with Dr. Lawrence E. Anderson (who quickly became another of my heroes).  I earned my Bachelor's Degree as well as my Teaching Credential at UC Davis.

I have two adult sons that I am extremely proud of.  My older son is a graduate of the University of Minnesota in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics and lives in St. Paul with his wife.  My younger son is a graduate of  Northern Arizona University in Mechanical Engineering. The other member of my family is my beagle, Charlie. 

Students who get to know me will tell you that I LOVE the color PURPLE!  My pens are purple, my pencils are purple, my whiteboard markers are purple..........  I also love to watch sports.  My favorites are  Hockey, Football, Baseball and NASCAR.
