Keith Ledet has been teaching percussion in Thibodaux, Louisiana with the E. D. White band program since 1982. He was a member of the 1984 Bridgemen and 1985 Star of Indiana. 

Keith graduated from Nicholls State University in 1988 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree and worked as a graphic designer for Neff/Buckner Rental from 1989-1999. From 2000 -2007, he worked as an independent graphic designer. In 2008, he was able to begin teaching percussion full time. He was able to experience the joy of spending the first portion of his day in the Lafourche parish schools of 6 Ward Middle, Bayou Bouef and Chackbay Elementary and the latter half of his day at E. D. White Catholic High School. In 2024, Keith retired from Lafourche Parish and now focuses on teaching full-time at E. D. White Catholic High as the percussion director, while also assisting at St. Joseph and St. Genevieve Elementary Catholic Schools.

Keith is currently the director of the E. D. White indoor percussion program, wielding this title since its inception in 2001. E. D. White indoor percussion has attended WGI world Championships 10 times and has been a finalist 4 times, 2 of those winning the PSA silver medal in 2017 and 2019. 

Keith enjoys working with students at all grade levels, expounding on their growth to become productive members of society. Some have even been encouraged to become music teachers and professional performers. He is always excited to witness the multiple talents of the Indoor percussion, marching band, DCI and color guard circuits, appreciating the work that the staffs and kids put into these activities. Keith lives in Thibodaux Louisiana with his very energetic wife, Debbie.
