🎶 Introducing the Interim New Band Director for the Plainview High School Powerhouse of the Plains Band: Jerry Hernandez 🎶 We are excited to announce that Jerry Hernandez will be taking on the role of Band Director for the Plainview High School Powerhouse of the Plains Band! With his rich musical background and dedication to student success, we are confident that he will lead our Powerhouse of the Plains! Mr. Hernandez holds an undergraduate degree in Music Education from Texas A&M University-Kingsville and a Graduate Degree in Music Performance from Texas Tech University. He began his career as an assistant band director at Levelland High School in 2002, where he served for 3 years before becoming the Director of Bands for 8 years. Since 2013, he has been the Head Junior High Director in Plainview, where he has mentored and inspired countless students through music. He has seen his students rise to the top, both individually and as a group, achieving state-level recognition. Mr. Hernandez believes that helping students reach their full potential is the most important aspect of his new role. "I want students to believe they can achieve what others think is impossible," he shares. Through determination, dedication, and discipline, Mr. Hernandez aims to instill valuable life skills that students will carry beyond the band room. Mr. Hernandez plans to foster strong communication and invite parents and the community to be actively involved in the band's journey. He hopes to offer more opportunities for the band to perform within the community, as he believes students find great joy in sharing their music with others. Furthermore, Mr. Hernandez is supported by his wife, Denise Hernandez, and their three children: Isaac, Joseph, and Abigail. The Hernandez family is deeply invested in the band program and loves attending performances whenever possible. When he's not working with the band, he enjoys reading, exercising, and spending time outdoors, particularly working on his yard. We are thrilled to have Mr. Jerry Hernandez leading the Powerhouse of the Plains Band and look forward to the incredible music and achievements that lie ahead! 🎶


Parents/Students: Please check w/ coaches and fine arts directors for next week's schedule. To stay competitive with schools in our district that don’t have fall breaks like we do, practices may be called. We value our break but continue to prepare our students to compete with the best. Thanks for your support!
