Smith named third band director at Elmore County High School

Cliff Williams / The Herald Zach Smith has taken over as band director at Elmore County High School. Anthony Vittore has left to be director of bands at Huntingdon College. While Vittore has left, his two children are still in the band and he looks forward to working in the concession stand.

There had been only two band directors at Elmore County High School since 1980 — Eddie Mann and Anthony Vittore. 

But now, Zach Smith follows in Vittore’s footsteps and he has a brotherhood that includes Vittore to help continue the Maroon Marching Band tradition. Meanwhile, Vittore now looks to another role, something new after 20 years of leading the band.
