Mr. Corey D. DeChaine

Corey DeChaine is a recent graduate of Angelo State University, where he earned his Bachelor of Music in All-Level Music Education. Originally from Del Rio, Texas, his passion for music began at a young age and led him to perform in a variety of ensembles throughout his educational career. In 2023, he marched and toured the USA with the Madison Scouts Drum & Bugle Corps (Madison, Wi), an experience that strengthened his leadership, discipline, and commitment to musical excellence. Outside the band hall, Corey enjoys spending time with his fiancé and their two cats, playing The Legend of Zelda, and sharing his love of music with others. He is excited to begin his first year as Director of Bands at Eden CISD and is dedicated to building a program rooted in excellence, tradition, and a lifelong love of music.

"I am thrilled to lead our band in making music this year. My goal is to foster a love for performance, teamwork, and musical growth in every student. I look forward to an exciting year of rehearsals, concerts, and our "Crossroads of Texas" marching season. Go Bulldogs!" - C. D.
