Hi! My name is Nathan Stokes and I am the band director at EMS/ELA. I grew up in Oregon and attended University of Oregon where I received my degrees in music education. I also served as the assistant to the Oregon Marching Band, Basketball Band and Campus Band. Outside of teaching I enjoy roasting coffee, playing golf, watching sports, playing video games, and exploring my new home of Colorado. I look forward to getting to you know all of you and sharing in the joy making music!
