Welcome to the Jim Ned MS Band Page!
Go Indians!
A little about me...
Hello! My name is Katie Licce and I'm the Head Band Director at Jim Ned Middle School! I was born and bred in Central Texas and received a Bachelor's in Music Education from Howard Payne University in 2015. Previously I have worked at Plainview ISD in Plainview, TX where I was one of four directors at the High School and one of eight directors grades 6-12, and Water Valley ISD in Water Valley, TX where I was the only director of the entire K-12 music program.
I've enjoyed teaching in all shapes and sizes of districts, but I'm most excited to be a part of the Jim Ned family, and to be an Indian!
But let's get down to business...

This year, we will also be asking students to pass-off their music through the app, "FlipGrid". Flipgrid is a free app for educators and students, where students can submit recordings of their assignments to Ms Licce and Mr. Howeth directly. The best part about FlipGrid is you get UNLIMITED chances to record and submit the assignment!
Please visit this website's Calendar, FlipGrid, or the BAND app to see a complete list of pass-off due dates!
Here are the links to register for FlipGrid:
