Kevin is back for this one and we have a lot of catching up to do! We also go on a lot of tangents and without Lisa, this train is off the tracks.

A longtime friend from WIU pays a visit to talk about their Music journey and boy is it unique! How many of you can say you've taught at a military base?! Pretty neat convo on the way!

We have BRAND NEW guest with us today! Kieren is one of High School teachers that has a unique passion for music and a unique instrument to boot!

The world renowned composer Mark Hayes was invited to M-R to work with students and it was such an amazing day of making music! He was such a pleasure to host and to get him on the podcast was an absolute treat.

Kevin is out sadly but Lisa and David are here to talk about the goings on at M-R! Spring is not a time things slow down and we are still in the midst of a lot going on!

Lisa is back with a long list of her "items" from previous episodes and the 2025 MRHS Musical has arrived! So much happening!

Another haitus but Solo and Ensemble contest is no joke! But the results speak for themselves and we couldn't be happier for our students. Chole Sibert, Lisa's student teacher makes their debut on the podcast as we go over the whole S&E season and what lies ahead for Organizational Contest!

Our good friend Wesley from ROWVA wrote in to talk about his fascinating topic: Culture Before Content. Note: there are many edits from random technology glitches....

We are with Madeline Wood, outgoing District 2 President after her demonstration lecture on Flex Band and its use in her program and how it can be used in many others.

The panel is done...we can now breathe. What a fun time it was. Joining us are our favorite Mercer County people and former block student, now band director from A-Town, Hannah Murray!
