After 28 years, band and orchestra director Stephanie Byers is retiring. Byers said she will miss North. “Every class is different and I will miss every class I had” she said.

Although she will miss this life, she said she does not have plans to come back to North often, because she wants the new band director to learn. “If the band director calls me to come for some help I will come,” she said.

After waking up at 5am every school days for 28 years,  Byers said her main retirement plans are just to stay home and sleep in.
