My name is Taylor Cathey and I am an Assistant Band Director and responsible for all district percussion activities.  I graduated from Plano East Senior High School before attending the University of Louisiana at Monroe, where I received a Bachelors degree in Music Education.

At ULM, I performed with the Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Sound of Today Marching Band, Drumline, Percussion Ensemble, Pan-Da-Monium Steel Band, African Ensemble, Stomp Ensemble, Orchestra, and Choir. While I was in Monroe, I also performed with the Monroe Symphony Orchestra and the Twin Cities Community Band.

I met my wife Amanda during my third month of college.  She is a nurse at Harris Methodist Southwest Hospital in Fort Worth. Our son Jacob was born on July 19, 2008.  He is doing great!
