The Emerald Brigade is striking up a bold new tune this season, and we’re thrilled to welcome Mr. Zander Westphal as our new band director!

Mr. Westphal joins us from Troy, Alabama, bringing a wealth of musical experience and a passion for excellence. A multi-instrumentalist with a deep love for the saxophone, he’s known for his dynamic leadership and commitment to helping students grow both musically and personally.

His vision for the Emerald Brigade is clear and inspiring: to restore our marching band to its former glory as a competitive powerhouse. With fresh energy, high standards, and a collaborative spirit, Mr. Westphal is ready to lead our students into a season of growth, pride, and unforgettable performances.

“I’m honored to be part of this community,” he shared. “The Emerald Brigade has a rich legacy, and I’m excited to help write its next chapter.”
