DIRECTORS Andrew Fermier began his collegiate career as a Jazz Studies saxophone major at the University of Cincinnati - College Conservatory of Music before transferring to the Ohio State University, graduating with a Bachelor of the Arts in Music. Mr. Fermier has studied saxophone from local legend and CCM faculty Rick VanMatre, as well as Columbus musicians Shawn Wallace, Pete Mills, and Capital University faculty member Dr. Michael Cox. This is Mr. Fermier’s second year in the Princeton City School District, having previously taught at Evendale Elementary School. Mr. Fermier began his musical journey as a 4th-grade trumpet player in the Philadelphia area. His family moved to Chicago while he was in middle school, and it is here that his passion for music really took off. While living in Chicago, a deep love of jazz was born and relationships were built with several key teachers who would prove to be lifelong musical mentors. Mr. Fermier has maintained a steady performing schedule over the years, beginning as a teenager, playing in small jazz groups, rock bands, horn-driven funk groups, large jazz ensembles, and continues to perform with a prominent Columbus-based fusion group. In his spare time, Mr. Fermier enjoys spending time with his wife, 3 boys, and dog. Todd Leonhardt has enjoyed twenty-seven years as a music educator. Before he joined the Princeton Team of music educators, he spent eleven years in the Fairfield City School District. Mr. Leonhardt earned his Bachelor's Degree in Education from the University of Akron and his Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from Miami University, Oxford. His current teaching responsibilities include Jazz Ensemble, Scarlet Band, Band 6, Band 7, and Band 8. He was the recipient of the Princeton Board of Education Dream Keeper Award in 2017. Mr. Leonhardt enjoys spending time with his wife and two children. He is blessed to have a family that all share in the passion of making music. Mr. Leonhardt and his wife co-direct a community steel drum band named Divine Steel.
Kyle Phillips is currently in his twelfth year of teaching, with the last nine spent at Princeton City Schools. Mr. Phillips received his Bachelor of Music Education degree from Miami University in 2010 and is currently completing coursework to earn his Masters of Music Education degree, also from Miami University. Currently, Mr. Phillips teaches Jazz 7, Jazz 8, Jazz Lab, Band 6, General Music, Gray Band, Basketball Band, and is the director of the Pride of Princeton Marching Band. In addition to teaching at Princeton, he is a member of the trumpet section in the Southwest Ohio Symphonic Band and currently serves as the OMEA District XIV President and Jazz Festival Chair. In his spare time, Mr. Phillips enjoys cooking, spending time with his nieces and nephews, and exploring Cincinnati.

The Princeton Music Boosters honor the memory of Joan Meier by naming one of their membership levels after her. She was a Princeton Music Teacher (1960-1995), Leader, Colleague, Advocate, Visionary, and Friend. She oversaw the development of the Princeton music program into one worthy of state and national recognition. Under her leadership Princeton music educators were empowered to develop superior programs, enabling many thousands of students to experience a comprehensive education in music. Fondly known as "Mother Meier,” choirs under her direction consistently received Superior ratings. Her service to the music profession was recognized in many ways throughout her career, including statewide office and receipt of the OMEA Distinguished Service Award. Her legacy of high achievement and commitment to music education remain an integral part of the education program in the Princeton City School District. ì Princeton Alumni
