As the Director of bands, I serve many roles during GEHS's marching season. I work closely with our design team and staff to help craft an amazing show and experience for the students. We teach hardwork, determination, and the pursuit of excellence through cooperation in this ensemble.
Jazz Band
Jazz Band
I lead the school's top band named the Griffin Jazz Ensemble. This ensemble currently competes in Nebraska and the surrounding states. The goal for this ensemble is to be a commercial style band that performs frequently. In this ensemble, I focus on teaching the style and history of jazz music. I try to program a wide array of jazz charts. I use this group as a chance to expose students to the standards as well as more recent compositions.

Winter Winds
I served as the head director of the PLSHS winter winds ensemble: Titan Winds. In this role, I lead and planed rehearsals, assisted with the design for the show, and planed the overall season. I worked closely with a very dedicated and awesome staff that helped create a spectacular product. In the 2023 season, this group placed Second in Scholastic A at the Heartland Winter Arts Association Championships and Fourth in Scholastic A at the WGI World Championships. I am currently serving as the Vice President for the Heartland Winter Arts Association.
