Currituck County High School Bands

Mr. Poyner is the Director of Bands at Currituck County High School, where he teaches Jazz Band, Concert Band, Marching Band, and Wind Ensemble. Prior to joining the faculty at Currituck County High, Mr. Poyner served as the Director of Bands at John A. Holmes High School, where he taught Jazz Band, Concert Band, Marching Band, and Percussion Ensemble. He has a Bachelors of Music in Music Theory & Composition from East Carolina University.

 

Mr. Poyner’s mission is to give each student tools that they can use to not just be better musicians, but to be better human beings. His philosophy is that music is not just something we do, but instead it is who we are. So because we are all music, we must strive for excellence in all that we do, while extending grace to ourselves and others when we miss the mark.

 

When not teaching, Mr. Poyner enjoys spending time with his wife, daughter, and dog.
