Budget cuts not just a school music issue

I did my student teaching at Hampton-Dumont. They have an absolutely phenomenal music program in that district and a strong tradition of a summer community band. There is a great article by Kyle Munson in the Des Moines Register this morning about the band shell at Band Shell Park in Hampton and the disrepair it is in.

I was lucky enough to work a little with Brian Stevens when I was student teaching--an incredible teacher and individual! Check it out here.

Could we do a community band at CM? We have a great stage at the Colfax park.

MMMMM I wonder ..
