I love what I do and I think I’m pretty good at it. But I’m never one to think I’m the only one doing what I do. But comments from students who say that I would be the reason you would want to be in high school band? Really incredible. Education isn’t for the weak, but the rewards can be something.

I wanted to see it too! I knew of the fire but didn’t know the location.
St. Patrick’s Day adventures in Portland!
All before 9:00 am this morning was scheduling conflicts with band, student meltdowns in guitar and assorted atonal noises and madness in Music Tech. Being a music educator isn’t for the weak.
Tubberville needs to stick to what he knows best: Punting on 4th and long.
Cannibalism and ritual sacrifice to Baal and Moloch was DEFINITELY NOT on the 2026 Bingo card
Unsettling.
Do we really believe that if ICE rounded up every single immigrant in the US that they’d disband? No, they’re coming after YOU.
Been a minute since I’ve been on here, but expect more this year. To keep my sanity I’m diving into Greg Fishman’s etudes, and documenting the progress. He said he’s never had a student take on all 48 etudes. I’ll happily be the first.
Tuba Xmas started with less than 12
Still the best decision I ever made 😘❤️

Being a high school band director is like being in a mental health facility except there are trombones
So I just got accepted to a SECOND conducting symposium happening in April. I won’t say where just yet but I’m itching to take a stab at Slava! by Bernstein.
Be throughly prepared to be sick of me talking about it 😂🎷
Always up to hear a concert band, especially from young musicians. Trump tried to stop this, but here it is. THIS is how we fight back.
Trivia tonight with the smartest woman I know, Michelle. That’s precisely why we clean up each and every time. These other trivia teams should just go home.
Brilliant.
Kendrick that ain’t it
This is how we fight back.
He’s already GOLFING. I miss the country we were last week.
My principal is a die hard Bills fan. She denies it, but I’d bet the farm she’s part of the Bills Mafia and has done this.
New for 2025! #100daysofpractice. Tonight was bassoon for 20 minutes, last night was bassoon in addition to alto and tenor with Bach Shapes and the 1st Greg Fishman book, which celebrates 20 years this year. Consistency is the key this year.
These entitled college kids demanding more NIL money in the transfer portal my brother in Christ you are a second stringer for Ball State
Tyson is going to legally kill a man tonight and get paid $20 mil to do it. This is America.
Over the last year I’ve done a weird thing…lifting heavy things and putting them down. Here’s me lifting 295 lbs on #DeadliftFriday at Iron Legion in Westbrook.
Hey florgoth! Could I get on one of the starter packs? Saxophonist from Maine here
