ABILENE, Texas ( KTAB/KRBC ) – Texas' oldest marching band is making history. For the first time ever, the band at Abilene High School will be led by a woman. Amber Moore has been Head Band Director at Mann Middle School for four years, but this is an all new feat. 'I'm really excited to now be the name of getting to push through the barriers here at Abilene, and show what a woman can do,' Moore elated. In Moore's new role, she will lead the Eagle Band and occasionally teach middle school band.
