That's wonderful news!

btw - Mr. Donnie Sorah, previous JJ Kelly director, has returned to the area and is the new music department teaching fellow at UVA-Wise. His lovely wife is the new Coeburn band director.
Congrats to them both!

I didnt even know UVA wise had a marching band.

It's been in place for just a couple years now - they're off to a good start.

Yeah I like Mr. Galyean. I am also glad that Donnie got onto teaching staff and didn't realize that Kelly had gotten a job at Coeburn.

Fantastic news! The Smiths have done so much for our community. What a wonderful way for her to continue honoring her late husband who loved UVA-W so.
