Job Summary

The Assistant Band Director is a vital, part-time position funded via a supplemental contract to support a rapidly growing band program.

  • Music Selection & Coaching: Select and rehearse contemporary, crowd-pleasing "stand tunes." Focus on building a powerful, confident sound suitable for athletic venues.

  • Athletic Coordination: Liaise briefly with the athletic department or game-day staff regarding performance timing, national anthem logistics, and seating.

2. Supplemental Support for Program Growth

  • Instructional Assistance: Assist the Head Band Director during peak seasons (e.g., marching band camp, pre-festival clinics, or major concert preparations) by running sectionals or providing targeted feedback.

  • Retention & Culture: Act as a positive role model to help retain students as the program grows, ensuring that the pep and athletic band experience is fun, rewarding, and inclusive.

  • Logistical Support: Assist with equipment setup/tear-down for games and major performances as needed.
