Connie's Story
Life
I live in Winston-Salem with my husband Rick and my 4year old daughter Rachel. I was the band director at Reynolds for 8 years and moved on to being a full time mother. In the time I was at Reynolds, I witnessed the band making superiors at State Contest, something we never were able to accomplish when I was a student. It sure felt good! Rick and I will be married for 16 years in December 2007 and are enjoying the time with Rachel. She is an absolute blessing to us. If you read this and wish to contact me I use a very popular free email account with the word hot**** in the address and musicmerritt. I hope that address will come through that way as i think they delete emails addresses on this site.
College
I went to App State and was on the long term plan. Complicated story, but the bottom line is while I attended I was a combined instumental and vocal music ed major...Expand for more
. I played flute/piccolo in the Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Orchestra and Marching Band. I participated in the Opera Workshop as Props Mistress, Assistant Stage Manager and Performer, not necessarily all at one time. My last role was that of "Amahl" in "Amahl and the Night Visitors." I also spent two seasons as drum major for the marching band. That was a fantastic experience and really helped me as a band director. I also became a member of Sigma Alpha Iota and was very active in the Epsilon Theta Chapter as an officer most every year I attended App State. I loved every minute of my college life for the most part. One of my most incredible experiences was getting to meet Leontine Price after a recital she had in Asheville my last semester in college. It was amazing to meet such a great person who has such a rich history as a performer. That moment will always stay with me.
