 Caleb Carter- Assistant Orchestra Director I am excited to announce that Caleb Carter will be joining the Round Rock High School Orchestra Program as the new Assistant Orchestra Director. Please help me welcome him into our wonderful community and program.
Mr. Caleb Carter started in music during 4th grade when he got his hands on his father’s old, beat-up trumpet, and he quickly became obsessed with playing music. His newfound love of music broadened through middle and high school where he earned the John Philip Sousa Award for contributions in marching band in 2017 and had his first forays into jazz band and orchestra. Outside of school, he earned his Eagle Scout rank and worked as an instrument repair technician. Following high school, Mr. Carter attended Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin from 2017-21. Tutoring his peers for music theory classes stoked an interest in teaching that led him to pursue a degree in Instrumental Music Education. While at Lawrence, Mr. Carter played in a variety of ensembles including orchestra, wind ensemble, jazz band, chamber groups, and rock bands, while devoting additional focus to composing and arranging music. After college, Mr. Carter student taught at Shattuck Middle School in Neenah, Wisconsin and Kimberly High School in Kimberly, Wisconsin before taking on a long term band director substitute position at J.R. Gerritts Middle School in Kimberly. He recently moved to Austin, where he is loving the scalding hot sun and cockroaches. But most of all, he is looking forward to starting his first year at Round Rock as the Assistant Orchestra Director! |
