Z. Cougar Conley

CHHS Director of Bands and Guard

Hello! My name is Cougar Conley and I am the Band and Guard director at Colonial Heights High School. Colonial Heights High School is a twenty-three year Virginia Honor Band. I am so excited to be here! I just recently graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with my undergraduate degree in Music Education. In my time at VCU I performed with the VCU Peppas, the Cardinal Brass quintet, and the VCU Symphony and Symphonic Wind Ensemble. My main instrument is the trumpet, which I have been playing since the sixth grade. Prior to teaching here at Colonial Heights, I worked part-time with the Mechanicsville High School marching band as their music tech. Outside of the classroom, I still enjoy practicing and making music, cooking, gardening, and going on walks around Richmond. Go Colonials!
