Today on the show I get to sit down with Jacqueline Geraci. Jackie grew up in Port Ewen and attended Kingston City Schools, then went to college, earning both a bachelor’s and master's degree in music education from the Crane School of Music. She previously served as Director of Bands and Musicals at St. Joseph’s before getting hired in Kingston where she is currently a middle school band director at Bailey Middle School, an assistant director of the drama club at Bailey, a staff member for the KHS Marching Band, and the director and choreographer of Musical Theatrics at KHS.

Today, Jackie shares how and why she became a teacher, who mentored her along the way, and some of the highlights of her work. I learned soooo much about the inner workings of school music and drama programs and have a deepened respect for what they do and how they are shaping our future. This year's big Theatrics performance, Once Upon a Mattress, runs March 19-22th. You won't want to miss it!

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.

Our show music is from Shana Falana!
