Mrs. Wren would like to extend her gratitude to the following people:
My sweet Abigail - for sharing your mommy with Band and showing me the “right” way to conduct
My amazing parents - for supporting my band journey from the very beginning. Thank you for still showing up to my concerts and for soooooooo much more.
Paige - you are the best co-worker anyone could ask for. I love that we are basically the same person, except you are much more chill. Thank you for challenging me to be a better musician, helping me stay on top of things, and for being a great friend.
My wonderful mentors, many of whom have been with me since I was a baby French Horn player - Susan Scarborough, Randy Vaughn, David Gresens, and Charlotte Royall.
Stetson Begin and Brian Towner - I appreciate you both being my sounding board since I have been in this cluster. I have learned so much from both of you.
Joni Perez - thank you for taking me under your wing in Wind Ensemble and never giving up on me (life and band)
Rylon Guidry - for the blunt but necessary comments you are always willing to give. You are so smart!
Klein Oak Staff past and present - Todd Clearwater, Joe Nunez, Kyle Marx, Jesus Burciaga, Chris Rapacki, and Max Mullinix
Lamar Burkhalter, Brian Perez, and Blake Stanfield - for your invaluable percussion help this year
Klein Cain Staff - David McGrath, Kelsey Bradberry, Jenn Hepp, and Brian Perez
Hofius Fine Arts Department & Klein ISD Junior High Band Directors - I love being part of your teams
Jason Finnels & Rasheed Akande - for being patient with all of the questions I have sent you this year. I’m so thankful to be doing this with both of you.
Hofius Band 2021-2022 - thank you for your hard work last year to help us reach this milestone in our program’s history! We are so proud of each and every one of you.
Hofius Band Parents - we absolutely could not have done this without your support. Our students and this program are lucky to have you!
