Since he joined the school in 2024, the band program has grown from 75 students to 120.<\/p><p>Quincy Waller, principal of Falling Creek Middle, said, \u201cTerrance Gregory is pure sunshine at Falling Creek Middle. He\u2019s constantly bringing the spirit between pep rallies, music in the hallways and the pep band at sporting events. Students love him because he builds authentic relationships with them. \u2026 He is kind to everyone. \u2026 He\u2019s an incredible teacher and co-worker, who is reflective and is constantly working on improving his craft. Terrance often stays late mentoring and working with students to help them improve their musicianship. He is a true asset to our school.\u201d<\/p><p>Terrance wrote this about his philosophy of teaching, \u201cMy band students come with a wide range of experiences. \u2026 Students regularly hear phrases such as \u201ctrust the process,\u201d \u201cmistakes are how we learn\u201d and \u201cpractice makes you better, not perfect.\u201d I also remind them, \u201cI can\u2019t believe in you more than you believe in yourself,\u201d a phrase they often repeat back to me and to one another. \u2026 Moments like this show me that students are internalizing the mindset we practice daily. Mistakes are treated as expected and necessary, creating a learning setting where students feel safe taking risks and improving. \u2026 Through band, students learn responsibility, perseverance, teamwork and pride in their growth.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-65344db\" data-id=\"65344db\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b0c9e1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4b0c9e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/oneccps.torxdev.com\/fcms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2026\/08\/terrance_gregory-768x768.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-7916\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oneccps.torxdev.com\/fcms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2026\/08\/terrance_gregory-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/oneccps.torxdev.com\/fcms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2026\/08\/terrance_gregory-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/oneccps.torxdev.com\/fcms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2026\/08\/terrance_gregory-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/oneccps.torxdev.com\/fcms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2026\/08\/terrance_gregory-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/oneccps.torxdev.com\/fcms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2026\/08\/terrance_gregory-500x500.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/oneccps.torxdev.com\/fcms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2026\/08\/terrance_gregory-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/oneccps.torxdev.com\/fcms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2026\/08\/terrance_gregory-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/oneccps.torxdev.com\/fcms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/120\/2026\/08\/terrance_gregory-360x360.jpeg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Terrance Gregory Falling Creek Elementary School Teacher of the Year and Chesterfield County Public Schools Middle School Teacher of the Year Terrance Gregory is the band director at Falling Creek Middle.
