New La Grange Band Leadership

With an entirely new staff of band directors coming into this school year at La Grange ISD, a “Meet the Directors” event was held Friday at the high school band hall for parents and band students to chat with the new guys. Above, left to right, they are Assistant Band Director Christian Pitre (who just graduated from LSU), Head Band Director Christopher Cooper (most recently of Big Lake Reagan County ISD), and Assistant Band Director Eric Daniels (who most recently was working in Katy). Cooper led Big Lake to numerous band honors over the past several years and just finished his 10th year as a band director. Cooper’s wife is going to teach AP U.S. History at Cedar Creek High School and his two sons, Devin and Kayden, will be going into 8th and 5th grade respectively at La Grange ISD. The summer band schedule is printed on Page A2 today. Photo by Jeff Wick
