Coming Attractions - Jan. 27, 2023
01/27/2023

Subject Expert: Grammy-award winner Stephen Cox, CAST Tech High School Band Instructor.

 

Stephen Cox, a 2022 Grammy winner, can speak to the “Grammy experience” and also to the “street cred” he has with his high school music students. The 2023 Grammys are set for Feb. 5. 

Remembering the experience as surreal, Cox won the Grammy Music Educator award in Las Vegas in 2022. It is a “Special Merit” award, such as the Lifetime Achievement Award. Cox was working at Eastland High School in Texas when he was recognized. Cox and his wife (a Jefferson High School art teacher) walked the red carpet and sat next to Sony Music CEO Rob Stringer. Cox appeared on the national broadcast as he was announced the winner, and he ended the night chatting with Doja Cat at the Sony after party. 

Now in his first year at CAST Tech High School, Cox has started a Modern Band class. His students have formed no less than 10 bands.
