That’s a wrap on day one! Today our band hall was full of laughter and joy as we began with students back in the classroom! Our learners did the Compass Activity and learned about their personalities and how they can work together! #chs9family #chs9fam #coppellband #cisd

To make the best of an interesting situation to say the least we had a snowman challenge this past week! The CHS9 band kiddos sent in their pics and voted. The winner got lunch of their choice delivered by me! Congratulations Diego! #chs9fam #coppellband

Teaching #2020 style! In-person and Virtual. There have been moments of awkward, sadness, but also joy as we continue to “march” forward into an ever changing year. I’m so proud of our 176 JV band kiddos as they embark on the most interesting season yet!

Sometimes we have to go back to square one. Today we looked at our “selfies” to make sure we have the correct embouchure and little head movement while playing. #checkyoself #squareone #practicemakesprogress #CHS9fam #technology #coppellband
