Band Booster Board

2026-2027 Legend Band Booster Board Candidates (will be voted on at the March 11, 2026 booster meeting)

Band Booster President - Beth McDonough (selected by band director)

Band Booster Vice President - Jessica Begley

My name is Jessica Begley, and I would be honored to continue serving as Vice President of the Boosters. The Legend Titan Band means so much to my family: my daughter Ellie is a freshman percussionist, and (fingers crossed) my son Bennett will join the band in a couple of years.

I work at Cimarron Middle School in the SSN department and at Parker Valley Hope Addiction Treatment Center. I love helping people, and I bring that same caring, steady approach to booster work. I’m happiest working behind the scenes — organizing, crafting, solving problems, and making sure events run smoothly. I’ve truly enjoyed serving as VP and would love the opportunity to continue supporting the Legend Titan Band Boosters in the coming year. 

Band Booster Treasurer - Debbie Hardesty

My name is Debbie Hardesty (the proud grandparent of trumpet players Aiden [Jr.] and Kellan Williams [6th Gr]). I would like to submit my name for consideration for the Treasurer position for the Legand Titan Band Booster Club for the 2026-2027 school year.

I have previously been a volunteer Treasurer for three different Homeowners Associations as well as currently starting my 4th year as Treasurer for the Central Colorado Homeowners Association responsible for receipts and logging of all income, reporting the monthly financials at meeting, submitting invoices for sponsor reimbursement and filing of annual state/federal reports.  I have also served three years for the Finance Committee for our Metro Association. I am currently serving as Secretary for the Hilltop Governing Documents Committee. 

On my work experience side, I have been a Senior Executive Assitant supporting C Suite executives, Presidents, Chairman of the Board, Dean of the Business School. All involved firm payables, department budgets, shareholders, or investors payments, reviewing college financial reports for confirmation of department payments correctly given.

I look forward to the possible opportunity to provide help to the Booster Club with the never-ending support of the Legand Titan Band.

Jocelyn Rhymer is a longtime public servant and community advocate with more than 25 years of experience supporting individuals and families through difficult circumstances. She spent 19 years working within a law enforcement agency and now serves as the Director of Victim Services for a statewide nonprofit organization, where she oversees programs, budgets, and collaborative initiatives that support victim advocacy across Colorado.

As a parent of a Legend High School marching band student, Jocelyn has seen firsthand the dedication, teamwork, and opportunities the band program provides for students. She is passionate about supporting programs that enrich student experiences and strengthen the school community. Running for Assistant Treasurer, Jocelyn hopes to contribute her organizational skills, attention to detail, and commitment to responsible stewardship to help support the continued success of the Legend Titan Band.

Band Booster Secretary - Crystal Benedict

I am Crystal Benedict and I became part of the Legend Titan Band Boosters this year. I am a Systems Engineer in the defense industry and am responsible for system design and architecture, customer communication, and development team coordination and communication. I am mom to three kids. Colin is a freshman who proudly plays alto sax for the Titans, Rian is in 6th grade and plays trumpet and percussion, and Charlotte is 3 years old and is the color guard’s number one fan! Outside of work and band, you can generally find me at a local hockey rink watching one of my boys or at a coffee shop with a good book.

Our family has been a part of the Legend Band Program now for 4 years. We have another 5 planned. This coming year, we will have 3 active students in the program. I have an extensive background in music, having both a Music Education degree and a Music Performance degree in jazz. Starting formal music training at an early age, I’ve been active in music for over 40 years. I directed at the high school and middle school level, conducted a church orchestra, choir, children’s choir, and community events. I’ve also played in concert with several famous musicians throughout the years. Professionally, I am a Captain and Pilot Instructor for United Airlines. Inside of those roles, I was the manager of United’s 757/767 pilot training program for three years. In the past, I have also started and built two of my own businesses, which sold when we relocated to Colorado. I have served the last year on the board as Large Events Chair, and happy and excited to serve in the same capaticty. The students of the Legend Band Program deserve nothing but the highest level of passion from us.
