About Kate![]()
I was inspired by my marching band experience in high school to pursue a career in music education. While completing my undergraduate degree at Penn State, I discovered my passion for drill writing in my marching band techniques course, and also loved my time teaching visual basics as a section leader in the Blue Band my junior and senior years. Upon graduation, I taught high school band and orchestra at La Plata High School in Southern Maryland. While at La Plata, to save money, I began writing my own drill for our marching band, and we went on to earn many high visual and high effect awards in our competitive circuit, US Bands. I became very passionate about visual design during this time, and enjoyed every aspect of the design process. |
