In addition to teaching band, Mrs. Coughlin is a member of the Tundra Line, the official drumline of the Green Bay Packers. She has been performing at all home Packer games for what will hopefully be her 16th season. She has two cute kiddos: Danicka who is 9 and goes to Northside and LOVES playing the flute and piano. (In August 2022, she played a flute solo in a recital in New York City)! Derrick is a 6 year old aspiring drummer who's favorite songs to play are "We Will Rock You" and "Seven Nation Army". You will likely see Mrs. Coughlin's husband, Patrick around Kromrey too! He is a college athletic band director in Waukesha, WI and a percussionist.
