A good sized crowd of band member and parents met the new Collinsville Crimson Cadet directors at a band booster sponsored gathering Saturday evening at Sallee Field. Rod Mackey will head the directors. He is a Coweta HS graduate, a TU drum major, and taught band at Berryhill and Union. Robert Early is coming out of retirement to assist after band stints at Jenks, Putnam City and Claremore. Tyler Simmons is a 2010 Owasso HS grad and this will be his first band teaching job after his University of Arkansas degree. Sam Blachly is a 2012 Union graduate (where he was Mackey's student) and is currently at RSU. Sam will assist with the color guard this year. | ||||||||
