New Marcus Band Director

[BlackJesus]

I just got word of this today, but the new Director of Bands at Marcus High School will be Jeffery (Jeff) Jones from North Mesquite!! Given that I'm a Poteet alum which is just down the street from North Mesquite, Mr. Jones was like a another band director to us (which he actually was many years ago), and although it is heartbreaking to see him go, we congratulate him for obtaining such a highly sought out for position!

Just to name a few of his accomplishments, Mr. Jones increased the band membership from 117 to over 400, placed as an alternate to State twice, grown the ensembles from 2 to 5, and overall just created an incredibly strong bond in North Mesquite's band program.

Please treat him well Marcus Band! You're about to meet one of the most influential and intellectual men the band world has ever known.

Don’t worry, we’ll treat him well! He’s great, and he has a way with words that I’ve only ever seen from Mrs. Drinkwater. He’s led a full rehersal already, and he’s an amazing band director. I can’t wait to see what he has in store for us in the future!
