The Southwest Ohio Homeschool Band is excited to announce the beginning 2008/2009 Season - Starting September 9, 2008.
We strive to encourage excellence and musical advancement in our band program.
Our band members have been selected to play in the CCM Youth Wind Ensemble and the Sinclair Community College Youth Wind Ensemble.
This year we are pleased to announce Mrs. Michelle Crockett, a very experienced band director, currently a stay at home mom and talented musician, will be our Band Director.
Michelle Crockett graduated from Miami University with a Bachelors Degree in Music Education and from Tennessee Technological University with a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership. She was a Middle School Band Director (while assisting at the High School) for 7 years in the public school system until recently deciding to become a stay-at-home mom. She teaches private flute lessons, performs in church often on Flute and in the Bell Choir, and loves spending time with her family outdoors. Michelle resides in Lebanon with her husband, son, and dog. They are expecting their 2nd child this October.
