Warrior Band Boosters Board!

Ryan Sherwood
Board President
I am a proud parent of two. Both of which are band students. My daughter, Hannah is a senior and plays the flute in marching band and concert band. My son, Kyle is a freshman and plays the trombone and the baritone for the marching band. I am a store/general manager for QuikTrip(QT) andI am an assistant coach for the Junior Checkers 14u ice hockey team. I have volunteered in numerous tasks and several events, including CWEA. But primarily I have volunteered as our Levy Lead at Bank of America Stadium. I have utilized my extensive knowledge of customer service, food service, training, and management to lead many successful fundraising events. My philosophy and focus has revolved around a "long term" thought process. My goal is to set up effective processes and ensure financial stability long term. Not just for the time my own kids are in the band program but for many years to follow. I am looking forward to new ideas and new faces. See you all at the next meeting or LEVY event!

Valerie Heritage
Vice President of Fundraising
Fifth Year Marching Band Parent. Experience in PTO leadership with a passion for fundraising and band. Excited to help generate sustainable fundraising support that will provide the resources for the band to continue to grow and thrive. I am an Ohio native, enjoy watching sports and am very grateful for all of the opportunities that band provided for me in my younger years and now for my rising senior. I am marketer by trade and a creative at heart. My goal would be to create manageable fundraising programs that match our revenue goals. A plan that segments the dollars needed into smaller campaigns. Creating long-term relationships, demonstrating the value and appreciation and helping to promote the band in the community while we raise money.

Vice President of Hospitality
I am still amazed at the marching band world! These kids and directors work so incredibly hard and I’m glad to support them (mostly by feeding them!). My son is a junior trombone/baritone player and it’s been wonderful to see his growth both as a musician, but also in responsibility and leadership. My favorite part of serving is the relationships I’m developing with the other awesome band parents and the students. Three kids and a dog call me mom and I also work at a local dentist office as a hygienist. My musical background is in piano, so it’s a fun contrast watching the inner workings of a large ensemble!

Steve Metzler
Treasurer
This will be my 4th year as a marching band parent. My son, Andrew, is a junior and plays the marimba in the front ensemble. He is also part of the indoor percussion team in the winter.
I bring over 25 years of experience in finance to the treasurer role, with a strong background in corporate accounting, reporting, and treasury operations. My career has included managing reconciliations, cash flow, investments, and financial reporting, all while maintaining a focus on accuracy, compliance, and strong internal controls.
As the treasurer for the band booster program, I will apply these skills to establish clear, reliable financial processes and maintain accountability for all revenues and expenses. My goal is to provide dependable financial oversight so that directors and volunteers can stay focused on creating a positive and enriching experience for students.
Beyond the numbers, I’m also a hands-on supporter of the band program. I help build props, move equipment, and capture performances on video. I enjoy being actively involved and contributing wherever needed to support the students and the program’s success.

Greg Libke
Board Secretary / Social Media
2nd year Band Dad. 22 year Indian Land resident. I'm creative, detail-oriented, and a bit of a tech nerd / over all general nerd. I have a background rich background in design, photography, video production, and technical writing.
I’ve spent ten years between technical writing and quality manufacturing, plus over 20 years in printing and publishing—so keeping things organized and clearly communicated is kind of my thing.
Proud “Flute Dad” and active supporter of the band program. Lover of all things Sci-fi. My goal is to make the program shine!

Abby McNevin
Member-at-Large
Third year Color Guard parent and first year Member at Large.
​
Experience in project management, communications, training, education, and nonprofit leadership with a passion for supporting students, families, and the arts.
Excited to help create a welcoming, organized, and connected experience for band families while supporting the program's continued growth.
​
I work in healthcare technology and bring a strong background in keeping teams organized, coordinating stakeholders, tracking important details, and creating clear communication that helps move us forward.
Before that, I was an early childhood special education teacher, which gave me a deep appreciation for students, families, educators, and the power of strong school communities.
I have also served in nonprofit leadership as VP of Community Outreach for CMOMS (Charlotte Mothers of Multiples), where I helped build connections, support families, and strengthen community engagement.
My goal as a board member is to contribute my organization, communication, and collaboration skills to help support the directors, engage the parents, encourage our students, and celebrate the band and guard in our school and community.
