Choosing Music: Small School Edition
In a previous episode, Mike Lunney and Derrick Killam were joined by Jason Brents and Daniel Todd to discuss choosing music to fit your performing ensemble for evaluation. It was a great episode full of great ideas.
SO IS THIS EPISODE! But this episode features guests Tommy Perkins and James Cross, two seasoned directors who have spent large portions of their careers in smaller Texas HS classifications. This episode is geared to the challenges of a small (one person?) staff and the scheduling challenges of a smaller enrollment.
This conversation was a lot of fun, and some great tips were shared!
