🎺 NORTHWESTERN HIGH SCHOOL BAND DIRECTORS: Daniel Gulledge, Scot McGuire
Meet your high school band directors! Mr. Gulledge is joining our staff this year from his previous position as band director at Indian Land High School. He is an incredibly gifted educator with an eye for design and a knack for nurturing young people. Alongside Mr. McGuire, they lead the charge at Northwestern—designing shows, running rehearsals, and guiding students to be their very best on and off the field. Their vision and dedication keep the entire program thriving. We can’t wait to start this season under their leadership.
