New Band Director

Melanie Brooks is Pine City's new High School Band Director.  I met with Melanie last week.  Melanie is passionate about teaching.  She is a St. Olaf graduate and has worked with a variety of fine music programs.  Melanie is certified to teach K-12 Instrumental Music.  Ms. Brooks has lead large concerts and small group ensembles with much success.  She is experienced in teaching music theory and music literacy.  From private instruction to an ensemble director to full concerts, Melanie is prepared to lead the way for our outstanding band program.  She is bright, enthusiastic and good with people.  Melanie is inheriting a great band program that she will continue to build.  She is very excited about the prospect of new auditorium and looks forward to meeting the community when she moves here.

Melanie's primary instrument is the saxophone but can play all of the instruments.  I suspect she might play the saxophone for the community at some point.  This should be a great year for our music program. 

If you have questions about the transition to a new band director or if you have questions about the auditorium, let me know.  You can reach me at wgilman@pinecity.k12.mn.us or (320) 629-4011.
