For those who I haven't met, I want to introduce myself to you. My name is Michael Melton and I am a graduate from JSU. I marched with the Marching Southerners and previously worked in the Oxford school system. I am very excited to be your band director, as I've heard many good things about the school, students, community and band program.
Firstly, I want to congratulate Andrew Luther. He has been selected as an alternate for the 2018 All-National Honor Ensembles Concert Band/Symphony Orchestra for french horn. This is an incredible accomplishment and I hope you congratulate him. We are very proud of him!
Secondly, I know some are curious about band camp dates. These are listed below and we will have more details as we progress throughout the summer.
