To the tune of his own beat, Leander ISD Fine Arts Student of the Week Damian Carrasco strikes a chord in leadership!

Damian Carrasco proudly plays with the Henry Middle School Hawk Band. Not only a great leader within the band program, the eighth-grade student works very hard in the classroom. During the HMS beginning double reed class, Damian serves as a student aide. He helps with anything and everything the directors ask! Despite his involvement with the band program at HMS, Damian also plays bassoon at his local church every Sunday.

โ€œDamian is a hardworking student who is always ready to help out in any way that he can,โ€ HMS Assistant Band Director Katherine Willer said. โ€œHe is a leader in the band program. Every day he sets the standard for how everyone should show up. A great role model for the beginning double reed class every day. He gives great individual feedback on their playing, demonstrates an excellent tonal example for them, and fosters a love of music in other students. He is one of the students that makes the programs in our district truly outstanding!โ€

Congratulations to Damian Carrasco, Leander ISD Fine Arts Student of the Week!
