Farewell to Mrs. Ayers

Molly Ayers, Asst. Dir. of Bands, June 2020-June 2023

Molly Ayers has as Assistant Band Director with Union Bands since June 2020, filling many roles including Conductor of the Symphonic Band, 6th Grade Band Coordinator, Middle School Solo/Ensemble Festival Coordinator, Marching Band Woodwinds Coordinator, as well as numerous other grade levels of teaching and areas of tasking and responsibility.

Effective June 2022 Mrs. Ayers has taken a position in Claremore Schools as an elementary music teacher. This new position is closer to her home, and will allow her to spend much more time with her young daughters. The decision to leave her role at Union was not an easy one, as she loves the band world and has poured boundless time and energy into her students at Union.

Mrs. Ayers has done a terrific job at Union, and while we are certainly sad to lose her from the team, we completely support her decision and are excited for this new chapter for her career and family.

Thank you, Mrs. Ayers, for your investment into the Union Bands these past three years; we wish you all the best in your next steps!
