Director Change - Cedar Park

[MikeKyu]

Mr. Steve Wessels has announced his retirement. He has accomplished amazing things while at Cedar Park. He built a perennial powerhouse and has been the only director of bands that the school has known. He is one of the most open and kindest men that I have known. He never once pushed the band for his resume, only for betterment of the kids. What an honor to have a school be under his tutelage. His impact on the school and students will be felt forever.

 

His successor was promoted from within. Mr. Christopher Yee will now take the reigns. It is a great choice by the school as he has been groomed over the last three years to take this position. Dedicated to the kids before the product. Fantastically nice and open. I am excited for him. I am excited to see the direction that Cedar Park takes under his leadership.

 

Let's go Cedar Park!

I am excited for Chris, he is a super good dude.

 

And I guess this explains why CP pulled back from GNats for this year. Kinda bummed about that, personally.

My son, a senior next year was bummed out as well. I was lucky enough to March at Grand Nats 2 times in high school. I was really hoping for the same for him.

 

And yes, Chris is a great guy.

Congrats to Mr. Yee! It certainly benefited Leander when they promoted Selaiden from within. I hope to see the same continued bright future for Cedar Park.
