Summary
In this episode, Mark and Aaron sit down with two first-year high school band directors in Arizona to share insights and tips for a smooth transition into a new program. Ben Lynch , now leading the powerhouse Desert Vista High School band, discusses his journey to DV, how he approaches change as an “evolution” rather than a “revolution,” and gives a sneak peek at next season’s Western Band Association show in Chino Hills, California. Sherri Lindsey , the new director at Paradise Valley High School and an Arizona native, talks about the impact of building the right staff and how pacing the season can set a band up for long-term success.
