Travis Coakley is the Band Director at Biloxi High School in Biloxi, Mississippi where he has been teaching for 9 years and has been an educator for the past 20 years! Travis has been married to his loving wife Selina, for 16 years and they have three children, identical twin daughters, Sarah and Alice, and a son, William Jr.

Brandon Lesando knew since 7th grade that he wanted to be a band director; no matter what other career options he explored being a band director always made its way back to his top choice. When Mr. Lesando graduated high school going directly to college was not financially obtainable so he suited up and served our country in the US Navy where he worked on nuclear weapons for 7 years before being Honorably Discharged. Using his GI Bill, Mr. Lesando was able to achieve his dream and receive his Bachelors of Music Education from the University of North Florida (SWOOP!).

When asked about his most memorable accomplishment as a teacher, John says “Wow, what a question!” He says he would have to say his most memorable accomplishment was working with the members of the 2014 Blue Devils.
