Hello KMS Band Families!
Welcome back to a brand new school year. I hope you all had an enjoyable and relaxing summer break.
My name is Mr. A-T, and I am entering my 10th year as the band director at Kittredge Magnet School. In addition to teaching band, I lead three extracurricular gaming clubs at KMS (Pokemon Club, Dungeons & Dragons, and Esports).
By being in band, students will actively take on a great challenge and journey. One where their goal is to become better every day. This challenge will not take place over a single day, month, year, or even just their time at Kittredge. This challenge continues through middle school, high school, and beyond.
Focus on growth and personal improvement, competing with your past self.
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to this new year ahead!
Musically,
Mr. A-T
