bazinga!

whitney sims is a true renaissance woman. she is a band director (with a gold medal to boot), but she has also taught science, graphic design, yearbook, and more since the beginning of her career. she completed five minors in college because she took just about every class possible. she has taught alongside her husband, zach, for over a decade.

we yapped with whitney about how she balances life as a teacher and mom, why she loves the horse, growing up in a small school, how she chose texas tech, and her longtime dream of becoming a marine biologist.

amen!

spencer is a man of integrity. as an accomplished band director, he knows what works and what doesn't in the classroom. not only does he lead in the band hall, but he also has served as a church music minister for many years. his experience as a music minister influences his approach in the band hall, and vice versa. we talked with spencer about the importance of his family, hank hill, life behind the pine curtain, singing in the band hall, and the people who have influenced him throughout his career.

she’s a horse girlie!

we’ve known alexis since she was a wee oboe player from italy, texas. alexis has a knack for teaching middle school band and a big personality to match. we had a true yap session with alexis, covering in-depth lore, carnivorous plants, how many books she read this year, the most influential people in her music career, and her obsession with robert w. smith.
