VINCENT FLIEDER, TASD BAND DIRECTOR

The Texarkana Arkansas School District proudly announces new Head Band Director, Vincent Flieder. Flieder was previously the assistant band director and music teacher at Arkansas High School. “I am very excited to be taking on the director of bands position,” Flieder said. “It is a big task being the head of a program, especially one as renowned as the Arkansas High Razorback band, but it’s one that I am very honored to be trusted with. The staff I have are one of the best in the state, and the students are definitely top notch.” Flieder graduated from Texas High School and attended college at The University of Arkansas at Monticello. Before Flieder joined the Texarkana Arkansas School District, he was the band director and music teacher at Maud Independent School District. Flieder also served as the junior high band director, assistant band director, high school choir director at Hope Public School District, and high school choir director at Chapel Hill Independent School District in Tyler, Texas. “I plan to keep pushing forward to create even more opportunities for our students to learn, grow, and thrive,” Flieder said. “I also want to create a culture where our students know that we have a place for them to be themselves and be supported and loved. AHS (Arkansas High School) is already known for being a powerhouse with its programs, but I want to go further and make sure that there is no doubt that we are the top band program in the area.” Flieder is married to his wife, Bonnie, the theatre director at Texas High School.
