She is also a past Educational Director for the Orange County Music Educators’ Association. Megan has experience conducting All-District Elementary Jazz Band and Middle School Jazz Band and has served as the color guard director for Hauppauge High School’s marching band. Megan is an active performer in the Hudson Valley, playing horn with groups including the New York Wind Symphony, Northern Dutchess Symphony Orchestra, and SUNY Ulster Community Band.
