Cuero Gobbler Band Welcomes New Assistant Director, Ms. Megan Wansley
The Cuero Gobbler Band is beginning the new year with fresh energy and a new face on the podium. The district has announced the hiring of Ms. Megan Wansley as the band program’s new Assistant Director, marking an exciting addition to the award‑winning Fighting Gobbler Band.
Ms. Wansley is a first‑year educator and a recent graduate of Stephen F. Austin State University, where she specialized in *brass pedagogy and performed in multiple collegiate ensembles. Her training and musicianship have already earned praise from colleagues who say she brings both technical skill and a strong commitment to student growth.
Band leadership noted that Ms. Wansley’s background in brass instruction will strengthen the program’s sound and support both marching and concert‑season goals. Students will begin working with her immediately as the spring semester gets underway.
The Cuero community is encouraged to help welcome Ms. Wansley as she begins her first year of teaching and joins one of the region’s most spirited and tradition‑rich band programs.
Educators who specialize in brass pedagogy are trained not only to play brass instruments well, but to diagnose student issues, correct technique, and build strong brass sections within a band program.
