NEW BAND DIRECTOR: Flour Bluff Hornet Band has new leader

Flour Bluff Hornet Band students have a new head band director.

Flour Bluff High School sent a notice to band parents Tuesday notifying them of that change.

As KRIS 6 News previously reported , an ineligible student competed in the Region 15 5A marching competition in October.

While the band had advanced to a competition in Cedar Park, they were disqualified from competing due to that academic infraction .

According to the notice sent to parents, Flour Bluff Independent School District Fine Arts Director Elizabeth Ortega-Ruiz will assume head band director duties, effective immediately.

The former head band director has been transferred to an assistant position, effective immediately, according to a district spokesperson.

The district said that they will provide no further comment given it is a personnel matter.
