On Tuesday, July 23 at 6 p.m. Marathon High School will host a gathering to introduce Paul Anderson as the school’s new band director. The event is a chance for students, parents and community members to receive information and ask questions about band classes and activities, including the 2024-25 marching band program.
The evening will also see Aileen LaFave present the school’s new color guard team, the “Jewels of the Keys,” and translate all information to Spanish as needed. Both LaFave and Anderson will be available for one-on-one conversations and questions.
Anderson comes to MHS after a 38-year teaching career in Georgia. Bands under his direction have consistently scored excellent and superior ratings at marching and concert events, he told the Weekly. He has had many students go on to participate in music groups in college, several who have continued to become music teachers, and numerous county honor band, district honor band and all-state band members.
