James Attebery (he/him/his) is the Director of Bands and Guitar Studies at Marana High School.
“With Mr. Attebery, it isn’t just music and lyrics. It’s an attitude. He always stresses that when we put on that MHS Band t-shirt, we don’t represent just a band, but also our community. We owe it to everyone to be the best that we can be—on and off the field, in and out of school, in every part of life.”
