My name is Kris Balint and I am excited to be the Neville Jr. High, J.S. Clark, and Sallie Humble band director this year. I am a graduate of the University of Louisiana Monroe with my bachelors degree in music education. I also recieved my masters degree in trumpet performance from Austin Peay State University. In addition to teaching, I still actively perform and do freelance gig work in NELA and surrounding areas, as well as help teach the band students at Neville High School.
