Hello EMMS Family!

My name is Anastasia Chuca and I am the Director of Bands at East Montana Middle School.

I am 2013 UTEP Graduate with a Major in Music and a Minor in Education.

I have proudly worked at EMMS for 8 years, going on 9!

I have played in the El Paso Wind Symphony in 2013-2017 and have performed with the UTEP Marching Miners and with the DCI Open Class Group Revolution from San Antonio, TX throughout my college years.

Throughout my years of teaching at EMMS, we have been able to achieve several 1st Division Ratings in both Concert & Sightreading.

Highlights from 2024-2025:

Our 2024-2025 Beginning Band Students were named Best in Class at the YISD Young Band Festival and were awarded the Jawn Glass Award!

Our 2024-2025 Honor Band Students earn the high rating "Sweepstakes" at the UIL Concert/Sightreading Clinic and placed Top 10 at State for the ATSSB Outstanding Performance Series!

There are great things happening at EMMS! I look forward to a wonderful year as your scholar's band director!

Musically Yours,

Ms. Chuca
