When I first started teaching high school, I didn’t know when to play at football games (and when to stop playing). I learned the hard way over the years. Eventually I trained my leaders to be bold at starting and stopping the band.

Jazz From The Start - Jazz and improvisation curriculum you can use as soon as students know 5 notes

Get the book Almost Everything I’ve Learned About Teaching Band, a handbook for band directors that includes 75+ lessons, tips and truths. Most can be read in less than 10 minutes. Many can be immediately implemented in your classroom. More tips and lessons will be added (I'm still in the classroom half time and hope to remain there for many more years). You will receive a signed hard copy + an immediate pdf download of the book.
