Mr. Lynn P. Hunt - Band Director
Welcome to the Deep Creek Middle School Hornet Band. I am Very excited about working with all of you this year. Many challanges and exciting activities await us this year. I expect our group to continue in the long tradition of musical excellence at Deep Creek.
As your band director, I encourage you to work diligently to perfect your level of performance. We are all familiar with the saying "Practice Makes Perfect." Let this be our motto as we work together to achieve our goals and become the number one middle school band in Chesapeake.
