Introductions

Hello Charger Band Families!

Now that our summer band is beginning to wind down, I wanted to take a moment to officially introduce myself. My name is Emelia Johnston, and I am joining the staff at CSHS as an assistant band director after spending the last 2 years as an assistant band director in Deer Park, TX. I am originally from the suburbs of Atlanta, GA, and attended the University of Georgia, where I was a member of the trumpet studio. GO DAWGS.

I have spent several years involved with the drum corps community, originally marching with Phantom Regiment Drum & Bugle Corps, and most recently as a brass instructor for Oregon Crusaders Drum & Bugle Corps and Genesis Drum & Bugle Corps. My primary instrument is trumpet, and I continue to play whenever I get the chance. I currently perform with the Sugar Land Winds out of Sugar Land, TX.

A few little facts about me…

I am an avid coffee drinker, a twin, I love to read, and love to be outdoors. I am a lover of ALL animals (although I am sadly very allergic to cats), but my favorites are dogs, sea turtles, koalas, and elephants.

My experiences with all of the students at Clear Springs so far have been incredibly positive, and I believe that to be a direct result of your support, both for your children and for our program as a whole. So thank you!  You all have some fantastic children, and I can’t wait to continue the high school band journey with them. I would love to meet you all in person soon. Please stop by a rehearsal and say hi!

Best, 

Emelia Johnston
