Under her direction, the Creekwood Bands have earned consistent UIL Sweepstakes awards, Best in Class at Choice Music Festivals, numerous first place trophies for Beginning Band at Spring Music Festivals as well as Gatorfest Music Festivals. With the help and guidance of her amazing colleagues, her band students have also been chosen to perform at the Texas Music Educators Associations Conference in 2009 as the Texas State Honor Full Orchestra as well as the 2017 Midwest Clinic as an official performing percussion ensemble. Originally from Dallas, Texas, Mrs. Allen is a graduate of Lake Highlands High School where she studied with a list of amazing directors including Malcolm Helm and Marion West. After graduating from Lake Highlands, Mrs. Allen attended Baylor University where her principal teachers were Richard Shanley and Michael Haithcock.
