welcome to the krusty krab!

jake hille not only loves spongebob, but he also loves band. although not originally from the state of texas, jake has quickly become a winner- he's won multiple state marching championships with the celina band, not to mention all of his other accomplishments as a concert band director and drill writer. jake's journey from ohio to oklahoma to texas, and what he achieved along the way, is truly remarkable. we talked with jake about his career as a tuba player. being a girl dad, his new endeavor of stepping out of the classroom in a full time capacity, boomer sooner (😩), being an athlete, and his love for andy's frozen custard.

band yap: live!
we were so honored to have the opportunity to speak with the students of east texas a&m university at their music education forum. lion pride runs deep! we covered so many meaningful topics and shared plenty of laughs along the way. we talked about work-life balance as a band director, wienermusic, the importance of putting your instrument away, advice for young music educators, and answered some amazing questions from the music education students.

ya like jazz?

alex parker has led the wayne fisher jazz program at baylor university for over 25 years, revitalizing it and expanding opportunities for students in a big way (and he was hired only six years after baylor finally allowed dancing on campus). before his time at baylor, alex taught in public schools and studied at both eastman and miami, where he further developed his trumpet chops and deepened his musical knowledge.

alex's students leave not only as outstanding educators and performers, but also with a full understanding of just how awesome alex is. we yapped with alex about the history of jazz, his favorite miles davis era, his experience as a high school band director, and of course… whiplash.
