CROWN BRASS • COACHELLA ENERGY • DCI LEGEND

From Star of Indiana rookie to the face of Carolina Crown’s famous brass line, educator MATT HARLOFF just checked off an unexpected bucket-list item: conducting a 60-piece ensemble for Travis Scott at Coachella. Hosts NICOLE YOUNGER and JOSÉ “JOEY” MONTES III dig into the email that started it all, the three-week scramble, and why saying “YES” to wild opportunities feeds your students, too.
