About the director
About the director
Hello and welcome to the Mighty Jaguar Band! I am your director, Mr. Matt Locklin, and I am very excited to help you start your musical journey!
I joined band in 7th grade at North Lincoln Middle School on the tuba, joined marching band the next year and marched 5 years with North Lincoln High and an additional 2 years at UNC Charlotte. I graduated from UNC Charlotte in spring of 2021 after student teaching with Cox Mill High School. After graduating, I taught elementary school in Union County for one year before finding my way to this wonderful middle school program. I started at Jacobs Fork in August of 2022 and I am eager to watch the program grow and adapt with time.
Some of my most memorable experiences have come from being a part of band. I traveled with my middle school to Carowinds and Dollywood, with my high school to New York City, Universal Studios in Orlando, Washington DC, Atlanta GA, as well as a beach trip with the marching band nearly every year. In college I had the opportunity to perform with the Pride of Niner Nation Marching Band all over France and with the UNC Charlotte Orchestra in Vancouver Canada, among other performances around the country.
In my free time I enjoy getting out in nature by going backpacking and occasionally skateboarding. If I am in the house I am either watching cartoons or playing video games. I have a mini dachshund named Baxter, an orange cat named Onion and a leopard gecko named Gummy.
I hope to get to know each of you well and have a great year!
Joyfully yours,
Matt Locklin
