Music has the power to teach, encourage, and inspire us - and if you joined us for the 2024 ACA National Conference in New Orleans, you know this to be true. On this episode of CampWire, we're joined by Mr. Desmian Barnes, Director of Bands for Sophie B. Wright High School, the marching band that graciously and enthusiastically performed at the conference's opening session and warmly welcomed ACA to New Orleans. Join us for a conversation on perseverance, the power of music, being a leader to young minds, and the importance of taking time for yourself - regardless of how busy your schedule is.
