That’s it. We’re officially done… with WWPPD. But wait—there’s more good news!
This week, we’re joined by the incredible Rachel Maxwell, a renowned middle school music educator and band director from Traughber Junior High in Oswego, IL. We dive into her journey from budding musician to leading her band at the prestigious Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic.
Along the way, we cover everything from advice for new educators and tuba player mishaps to tips for improving your young band’s sound—and, of course, a little Drum Corps International talk.
Trust us, this is one episode you actually don’t want to miss.
