Directors

Mrs. Landry has taught at Briesemeister Middle School in Seguin since 2015 where she serves as Director of Bands and Fine Arts Department Lead.  She currently teaches Honor Band, Concert band, beginning woodwinds and percussion. 

Mrs. Landry taught Symphonic Band for 10 years and under her direction received accolades at various contests, consistently earning superior ratings. She transferred from Seguin High School where she taught for 3 years. During her time at the high school, she oversaw the Symphonic Band and team-taught the Wind Symphony. The Wind Symphony earned consistent Sweepstakes ratings and the Symphonic Band earned consistent First Division ratings. Under her direction the Symphonic Band earned its first Sweepstakes award since at least 2005. Before moving to Seguin in 2012, Mrs. Landry taught 6-12 band at Big Sandy ISD, and middle school band in Natchitoches Parish.

Jeremiah Barrera is the new Assistant Band Director beginning the 25-26 school year. Mr. Barrera will direct Symphonic Band, assist Honor and Concert Band and teach trumpet, horn, trombone, baritone, and tuba. He began his career in Southwest ISD in San Antonio, first tutoring on his primary instrument, horn, before adding more instruments in both the brass and woodwind families. 

Mr. Barrera graduated from St. Philip’s College and the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio with an Associate’s in Music and Bachelor’s in Music Education respectively. He is a member of Texas Music Educators Association, and Texas Bandmasters Association. He lives with his wife, Leanna, and four pets – three cats: Spicy, Katsu, and Todd, and one corgi named Peaches. 

Mr. Barrera is very excited to work with Mrs. Landry to continue to grow young musicians and students. Both Mrs. Landry and Mr. Barrera will work together to advocate for all students to become their best selves inside and outside of the classroom. They believe that AJB is the place to be!
