Wayne Bovenschen for Cowboy Marching Band Director
Join in supporting Wayne Bovenschen for marching band director at Oklahoma State University. All we ask is that Oklahoma State consider Wayne Bovenschen for this position. He is over-qualified and would make extreme improvements.
Please give Wayne a fair chance. Not only has Wayne been assistant band director for 23 YEARS, he is extremely qualified. More so than anyone who may be coming in from another state. He would not be using this job as an addition to a resume, he would live for this job.
