Meet the Staff: Band Director

Mr. Siddle is returning for his 4th year at Tioga High School and his 7th year teaching within the Tioga School System. Under the directorship of Mr. Siddle, the band program has grown extensively and progressed the storied reputation of Tioga Bands. Throughout Mr. Siddle's tenure as Director of Bands, the Band of Indians has received several marching and concert sweepstakes. This year, we're thrilled to be offering a third full concert ensemble to accommodate the growing Band of Indians.

"I'm excited to be returning for my 4th year at Tioga High School. This program has seen a great deal of growth in the past four years. I'm incredibly thankful for and proud of the student leaders who have led this program in its growth both musically and culturally. This year, I'm most excited to be working with an expanded team of music educators. From our 6th grade programs to our high school programs, we will have 6 certified and fulltime music educators working with our students in both the choir and band rooms. This is an unprecedented and unmatched commitment the likes of which has not been seen in Rapides Parish history and I know my staff, our students, and our colleagues in the choir room appreciate this support. I'm proud to be a part of this time period in our school's history. I'd like to thank our Tioga community, Mr. Ben Arrington, and Mr. Wilton Barrios for their continued support of this program that means so much to our community and students.”

Meet the Staff: Colorguard Instructor

Amanda Yancey is a proud Tioga High School Color Guard alumna and has been involved with the program on and off since 2018. She graduated from Louisiana State University at Alexandria in 2016 and holds her Master's Degree in Educational Leadership.

Amanda has been married to her husband, Reggie, for 12 years, and together they have a blended family of five children.

Color guard is more than a sport or activity to Amanda—it's an art form that she is passionate about coaching. Her favorite part of working with the team is watching students grow not only in their skills and performance abilities, but also in their confidence and character as young adults.

She is honored to give back to a program that helped shape her and is excited to continue helping the next generation of Tioga Color Guard members discover all they are capable of becoming.

Reminders:
1. Every Member of the Band must have a Parent or Guardian come to the July 17th Logistics Meeting (More details will be released on the Band App)
2. Band Camp is July 20th - July 31st 12:00-8:00 (No Weekends!)
