MUSICAL NOTES ABOUT Ms. Katrina Platt:

      I transitioned to Johnston County in 2000 from Mullins, S.C. via New Rochelle, N.Y.

     My first years were spent teaching band, music & chorus at Corinth-Holder Elementary School before becoming a charter staff member here at Archer Lodge. 

     I have been blessed to be teaching band & music for 34 years. One of my greatest pleasures is to have the opportunity to teach children to love & appreciate music as much 

     as I do. I love encouraging, promoting & allowing an explosion of the beautiful & talented gifts being “extracted” from our children.

     My family is extermely important to me.  My two wonderful children are daughter, Wrakyia, after graduating from NC A & T SU, has received her master's degree from

     UNC-G & my son, Katrell, a retired US Army veteran, is producer & owner of TruBrillance Music, Inc. We're also blessed with his sons Gabriel & Ka'Rell.

     In addition to music, I enjoy writing poetry & watching sports, (especially football & basketball). I formerly marched with the N.C. A .& T. S.U. Blue & Gold Marching Machine

      as well as being an active member of their Alumni Marching Band.
