Education is the only profession where you're made to feel guilty for time off by society at large. With the irony being that it is unpaid.

Proud of these kids!!!

My favorite redirect of students who do not want to participate…give them options! 9/10 they will join in as they have made a choice and want to stick with it! #TeachingBand

Great job Junhui, Justin, Steven, Justin, Olivia, Kalina, Derek, Audrey, Isaac, William, and Jayden! #GMEA #DistrictHonorBand Johns Creek High School Band

Platitudes like this rub me the wrong way. Good sentiment but there are several fixes above this that need to occur for the average teacher to have the capacity to serve every student. And we do have an epidemic of higher, better, faster - and a lot of those kids struggle too…

Great job Matthew, Erin, Shinhai, Rajeev, Lauren, Susanna, Xiao, Irene, and Jonas! #GMEA #DistrictHonorBand Johns Creek High School Band

Don’t forget some of the Johns Creek High School Band students playing flute, clarinet, horn, trumpet, and percussion!

👀 and some of us make the same $ as those who don’t come through with this stuff

And JCHS Orchestra Johns Creek High School Band !!

Can we agree to stop with the platitude style Facebook band Director notes? Everyone has an opinion and nobody has any idea what goes on in your band room except you. These posts are really about ego imo…

An awesome day with amazing students making music together. So proud of our Autrey Mill band students & our entire music team for earning Gold Standard ratings & 1st place in our categories @ Southern Star Music Festival! Trey Martin Autrey Mill Middle Matt Koperniak Brian P Downey Autrey Mill PTA

It’s long-sleeve pullover with shorts weather. I love it! Just no wind, we’ve got a band show on Saturday!

True competitors want to compete when everyone is at their best. It’s not about winning or losing…it’s about the growth and development. It’s about the art of the sport and it’s also about being the best person you can be at all times.
