Welcome to the Rancho Maze Band & Colorguard! We are an instrumental music program consisting of a youth Symphonic Band, Concert Band, Marching Band, and Colorguard. Our organization honors and educates middle school-aged students, who work tirelessly to evolve through music. In the process, these children develop invaluable life skills, such as self-discipline, confidence, commitment, responsibility, and personal pride, all while exposing the world to some beautiful art and music. Please join us in celebrating their joy and their phenomenal growth each year!
Mr. Adam Martinez is the band director for the Rancho Maze band program. He received his B.M. in music education and single subject teaching credential from San Jose State University. Studying the double bass, Martinez participated in various music ensembles, including the Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Band.
After receiving his teaching credential, Martinez began teaching at various schools along the Central Coast. His experience includes teaching band, orchestra, choir, and K-5 general music.
Aside from teaching, Martinez can also be seen playing electric bass in various bands along the Central Coast and in the San Francisco Bay Area. He also enjoys spending time with his daughter Daisy, participating in CrossFit, and raising his 3 hens.
Mrs. Mandy Redding has dedicated nearly a decade to leading the Colorguard program of the Rancho Maze Band. Recognizing a creative gap in the middle school music program, Redding's unique vision brought to life this incredible addition we call Colorguard. She takes great pleasure in working with students of all ages and abilities, providing students, from all walks a life, a place for kids to truly belong and freely be themselves among their Band Family - a "home". Over the years, her program has flourished, with student participation, performances, and competitions increasing tenfold. Each year, Redding continues to expand the program's focus, offering new opportunities for growth and development.
For the Redding Family, Band and Colorguard are more than just extracurricular activities - they are a way of life. Both of Redding's daughters serve as Assistant Colorguard Directors, her husband helps with instrument transportation, and her son is actively involved in the high school music program. Band Family is not just a concept, but a reality for the Redding household. When she's not leading rehearsals, Redding enjoys relaxing with a good book, indulging in some coloring, and cherishing quality time with her loved ones.
