Ashlee Hook President |
Ashlee has a bachelor's degree in IT Project Management from Davenport University with a 3.7 GPA. After receiving her degree she decided to take a year off to spend more time with her family. When she was ready to find a career in her field a different door opened. Newaygo Public Schools were in desperate need of bus drivers and school aides. She saw a need and wanted to help fill it. She does both now. Ashlee Hook has two sons in the Newaygo Band program. Her oldest, Tyler, is starting his fifth year and her youngest, Logan, is just starting. Ashlee is a die hard "band mom" and loves her band kids as if they were her own.

Hello. My name is Bryan Buchner. I am the Vice President of the Newaygo Band Boosters. I have 3 daughters in the band. One of them is the 2023 drum minor and the other 2 are in color guard. I graduated from Newaygo in 1999 and met my wife of 17 years down in East Lansing. I am proud to say we have the best parents and Band Boosters to support these kids and come alongside them and support them as they compete.
