WELCOME!!!

Hello, and welcome to the Woodsboro Mighty Eagle Band website. My name is Marcie Peterson and this is my first year teaching here at WHS. I've been in the education field for 12 years and have been a certified band director for the past 5 years. My principal instrument is the trombone, however, at any football game you might see me playing any number of other instruments including, trumpet, tuba, baritone or french horn!

I am no stranger to Woodsboro, Texas. I grew up only 5 miles down the road in Refugio and after college and a few years in other states, I decided to come back to Refugio County, and have been here ever since. It is my goal to not only teach the students of Refugio County, but to also mentor and have FUN!!! My band experience was amazing and I want the students I teach here in Woodsboro to experience the same FUN and AWARD winning program that I was privileged to be a part of.... back in the good old 1980's.

I am married to Christopher Peterson (my unofficial Assistant) and I have 2 lovely daughters, Brittani Wade (age 19) and Bethani Wade (age 15... and a sophomore at WHS this year) My entire family is from Refugio County and I am a proud resident and glad to have grown up in such a strong community and church families. We attend the First Baptist Church of Woodsboro, where I also play the piano for our services. I love to sing, play piano and guitar and my newest found love.... ZUMBA!!!

There are 3 words to describe my teaching style and personality........ FIRM...... FAIR...... FUN~~~~ and here's my motto..... "If you are cool with me.... then I'm cool with you.... but if you cease to be cool with me..... well then...... Houston..... we got a problem!"

I love what I do and my hope and prayer is that the students I teach will love what they do also!!!! IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT......scratch that.....AWESOME!!!! YEAR!!! GO EAGLES!!!
