Cherokee County School District Highlights - Sequoyah HS Music Facility Named for Beloved Band Director

A crowd of family, friends, former students, and colleagues recently gathered outside Sequoyah HS for the dedication of the school’s band room in memory of the late David E. Harrison, who launched Sequoyah’s marching band program and directed it for 20 years.

“Mr. Harrison was the first band director at Sequoyah High School and extremely instrumental in the phenomenal growth of the band program and the expansion of what is now the SHS band room. The impact he had with our program, as well as other high schools, universities, and community bands and orchestras in Georgia was extremely meaningful and significant. He truly created a legacy around fine arts for children and adults alike,” said Sequoyah HS Principal Robert VanAlstyne in his request to the Cherokee County Board of Education for the naming honor.

Speakers for the April 30 dedication event included Dr. Brian V. Hightower, superintendent of schools; daughter, Kason Sams; son, Jonathan Harrison; and friends and band supporters Rick James and Steve Bell. All shared stories and memories of Harrison and his love of his students and the arts.

The program closed with the SHS “Ocean Spray” Steel Band playing one of Harrison’s favorite tunes, “Margaritaville.”
