About the Director - Scott Deering

Mr. Deering moved to Flower Mound in 1972 and attended Central and Hedrick Elementary Schools, Hedrick Middle School , and Lewisville High School. During high school, he studied trumpet privately with John Haynie at The University of North Texas. Mr. Deering was selected to be a part of numerous ensembles, including All-Region, All-Area, All-State, and the Interlochen Arts Academy. After graduation, he attended Texas Tech University on a music scholarship and studied Music Education, Theory, and Composition. He has composed and/or arranged more than 95 works for orchestra, band, and jazz band.

Mr. Deering has recently moved back to the area after teaching for 20 years in the California Central Valley. His responsibilities included orchestra, marching band, concert band, jazz band, percussion, and colorguard. His groups combined each year for more than fifty performances. While the list of accolades his groups accumulated is extensive, a few highlights include: Orchestra Sweepstakes, Jazz Sweepstakes, and Marching Sweepstakes at many of the California Music Educators Association events throughout his tenure. His awards include Educator of the Month and Who's Who Among American Teachers.

In addition to the orchestra and band ensembles he performed with as a student, Mr. Deering has also performed with The Lubbock Symphony, The Tulare County Symphony, The Tulare Brass Band, The Sequoia Quintet, The College of the Sequoias Jazz Bands, as well as school and community musicals each year. Mr. Deering has performed with many professional musicians as a member of these groups. Mr. Deering feels that Doc Severinsen, known for his work as a trumpeter and performer on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, was the most influential musician he has worked with.
