heavy on the band, heavy on the yap.

kat norris is a gem. she loves birds, the university of houston cougars, mahler, and of course middle school band. kat gave us the low-down on what it was like to step into her current role at henry middle school, how her high school band experience shaped her perspective on music, blockbuster video, her feelings on trash tv, and how she aged out of…several things.

you know the guy that posts the sight-reading info? that's tim.

even if you don't know tim, you know tim. he moderates the yellowboard (iykyk) and the texas band directors facebook group. he writes drill via brynnpark productions. brynnpark's website also hosts the sight-reading information each year, uil repertoire analysis, and judge analysis. but, tim will tell you- he left band directing, and has since shifted his entire perspective on what defines success in the band hall and out of it.
