it's magical to me...almost like you are watching a private conversation that is only meant for them. The only time it's better? When I'm the conductor.

[Jay Eichhorst @jayeichhorst]

One of my favorite things is to watch a conductor in front of their band/choir/orchestra. When their face comes alive as they move and the musicians respond in kind through their instruments...

Perfect day to open the top and blare the tunes!

Suddenly, on the 3rd day of vacation, while watching the Twins, an idea popped in my head. 20 minutes later, I had the November concert repertoire decided. While that certainly wasn't the plan (far from it) I have learned to write things down when this happens lest I forget!

It's my favorite time of the year!

It's almost Music in Our Schools Month. Just sent out the invitations. I'm proud to offer this invitation to parents, grandparents and guardians for the fifth year! This is has turned into one of my favorite events of the school year!

Thought for the day - "At the end of the day be the one who gives grace instead of retribution."

Great story. I feel the same way about my students. "Once my student, always my student." https://t.co/STLUldO2od

We were excited to welcome the East HS Jazz Band and director Eric Zimmerman to PWMS this morning! They performed a holiday set of tunes for students/staff during breakfast. Great to return to this tradition - we missed it last year. Have a great mini-tour around Kato today!
