A student once told me that she liked when she heard the teachers call each other by their first names because it made it seem like we were friends and that we liked each other. They are paying attention. #BeKind #ThePepperEffect Sean Gaillard

Wow! What a great run for the WH Drama Club production of The Addams Family. That was something special!👏👏👏Warren Hills HS

I don’t even how to put into words how much joy this year’s WH Drama Club musical brought me, and how grateful I am that I was able to be a part of it. The show was awesome, the music was great, and the students were AMAZING! Just…wow! ☺️ Warren Hills HS

I'm watching an old interview with Conan O'Brien and he says he has 14 writers. So it takes fifteen people to create an hour of original content every night. Every teacher you know creates six hours of content every day alone.

My first day teaching 5th and 6th grade band with instruments at West Genesee Schools middle school today, and it felt GOOOOOD!! 😁

First competition of the year for the West Genesee Schools Marching Band resulted in a 1st place finish! 🏆 And I think it’s safe to say that my son is a BIG fan! #ARiverRises

If you pay close attention to Rutgers men’s basketball, you probably know head coach Steve Pikiell mentions the university’s pep band during every postgame press conference at home. dailyrecord.com/story/sports/c…

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid

Last night’s West Genesee Schools 5/6 band, orchestra, and chorus concert is one that I will remember for a very long time! The students have grown so much, and that great performance was the result of the hard work and dedication of our incredible WGMS West Genesee Fine Arts music students! 🎶

Full circle moment today…I’m starting a piece with my West Genesee Schools 5/6 band that was written by MY elementary band teacher, the best to ever do it, and the reason I became a band teacher, Steve Frank. West Genesee Fine Arts

Hoping to check out this book in 2018 #4OCFGiveaway

Just finished #ZenTeacher tonight. A great book to get ready for a great 2018! Dan Tricarico

I hate state testing, but one of the positive things about it is that I was able to read this GREAT book this week by Dr. John Spencer and AJ Juliani! #empowerbook

Hi #musedchat. I am a beginning band teacher (4-6) in New Jersey. A1: Not surprisingly, my beginning band teacher had a huge impact on me. He was also my HS jazz band director, and taught a college course that I took. He held us to very high standards, and made learning so fun.

A2 - I owe my band teachers everything, from 4th grade through college, for showing me what it takes to be successful. My colleagues and my administration (yes really!) encourage, inspire, and support me to keep moving the program forward. #musedchat

A3 - I hope that my students feel that their hard work and dedication never went unnoticed. I also hope that they leave with a better understanding of what an important role music plays in conveying feelings and emotions that are hard to describe any other way. #musedchat

I’m about halfway through the book #InnovatorsMindset, and this quote hit me. Hard. George Couros

“Outstanding” is definitely a word I would use to describe our pit band! Congratulations to all of the Warren Hills HS FREDDY Awards nominees! #WHRHSPride #FreddyAwards
