Band Director Meeting

So today was our SCBDA fall meeting. This year I'm on the all-state committee. Some band directors think these meetings are a hassle but for me its kind of a time to connect/network with other directors and also to see some friends that I really only get to see at these meetings. I'm also always looking for new ideas and teaching strategies. I've been a bit worried about where we are with our show because we got a little bit of a late start because of when I got the job at Swansea. We still have not put our closer on the field but at the meeting I talked with a few other directors and a lot of them are also in the same boat so I feel a little bit better about where we are with our show. The fall meeting is also the time that the drawing is done for the upper and lower state lineup. This year we were picked to go next to last in our class. This could potentially be a great spot to march in as long as we are on top of our game. Monday the work continues.
