My name is Kimberly Vegter and I am the Director of Bands at Walter Johnson Middle School. I graduated from Appalachian State University with both my Bachelors Degree in Music Education and my Masters Degree in Music Education with a concentration in Band Directing. I am a North Carolina Teaching Fellow, and I also have my middle grades math certification. This is my 5th year here at Walter Johnson; before coming here, I taught middle school band at Statesville Middle School In Iredell County. My main instrument is the French horn, and have played it for about 16 years. I am, however, able to play all of the instruments in the band. I have been married to my husband, Sam, for over 6 years. He is an Instructor at Western Piedmont Community College in the Business Technologies department. We have a dog, Molly, and are expecting our first child (a girl) around November 9.
