Happy New School Year! It is such a great time of year for me and hopefully for you as well. I love the excitement surrounding the beginning of a school year - everything seems so fresh and new. In the band world everyone is full of musical potential. I look out at the students from my conducting podium and see and hear where the students are now and I look forward knowing where we will take the songs by the time we get to our first concert in November! I look forward to a great school year!
