About Reading Community Concert Band Director Catherine Hofius

Catherine HofiusCatherine Hofius, a former resident of Marietta, GA and a current transplant of Lowell, MA, works as a band director in Andover Public Schools teaching at the high school and middle schools. Whether it was the record setting 120 inches of snow in 2015-2016 or the shameless lack of “r’s” in conversation, New England has found a true fan.  After completing a Bachelors in Music Education at Georgia State University in 2010, Catherine ruminated about the saying “the more you know, the less you know,” but never the less continued straight into a Masters in Instrumental Conducting under the tutelage of Robert J. Ambrose.  After gaining more knowledge and “knowing even less,” she decided to embark on an illustrious career in teaching.  She has found much joy in teaching the students of Andover.  She also finds great joy in snow shoeing, cross-country skiing, bike riding, hiking, camping, and eating lobster.
