Region Marching 2024 @Riesel High School

Mrs. Senzig is in her 25th year as a music educator, 15 of them in the classroom every day.  Those other years were spent being mama to Ryan, Richie, and Maelynn and teaching sectionals, working with colorguards, and doing anything else that would allow her to hang out in a band hall.  Mrs. Senzig is a 1996 graduate of Heavener High School in Heavener, OK.  After high school, she went to Hardin-Simmons University where she earned her degree in music education in 2000.  Mrs. Senzig is a proud member of ATSSB, TMEA, a Provisional Member of TMAA concert and marching band, and serves as chairman of the CENTEX Honor Band organization.  Mrs. Senzig is the director of the RHS Band, RJH 7th Grade band, teaches flute, clarinet, and low brass at Foster Elementary, and 5th grade Pre-Band at Foster.  In her spare time, Mrs. Senzig enjoys spending time with her kids, cooking on her Blackstone, visiting her niece Ellie (her mom and dad, too) and helping her husband Eric plan their next Disney and Universal vacation.
