A north Texas band director is making his big return to the stage Tuesday night after nearly dying following a nearly-fatal motorcycle accident.
Band director Scott Himel of Denton was on his way to teach music to some homeschooled students when he was involved in a motorcycle accident in September of last year.
The wreck seriously injured him, leaving him with a brain injury, a fractured eye socket and skull, a shattered knee, and a broken ankle.
Several of the homeschooled families and other good samaritans raised funds to help Himel with his medical bills and to comfort and help take care of his family.
After four surgeries, Himel joined the North Texas Homeschool Fine Arts organization as they marched in their first parade. He led from a wheelchair.
Tonight Himel will conduct the band at the Lewisville Grand Theater starting at 7:00 p.m. Families and friends say they will be attending to witness Himel come back strong to finish the year successfully.
