Rachel Montañez,

Color Guard Director

Rachel Montañez is a freelance graphic designer and choreographer originally from Long Island, NY. She has a B.S. in Mathematics from Molloy College.

Rachel was introduced to the marching arts activity at Mineola High School, where she participated in both the marching band and winterguard programs from 2008-2012. Her performance career continued outside of high school with The Long Island Sunrisers from 2009-2011, The Connecticut Hurricanes in 2012, The Cadets from 2013-2015, Alter Ego IW in 2013, 2017-2018 and Fusion World in 2019.

Although Rachel’s passion for performing came first, she has been able to pass on her love for the activity through teaching. She’s had the pleasure of teaching and choreographing for various scholastic and independent programs around the country since 2012 - most recently with Dartmouth HS, Boswell HS, Vigilantes Indoor Percussion, the Madison Scouts and the Spartans.

Outside of colorguard, Rachel enjoys making art, drinking craft coffee and playing chess.
