Best PD Ever

One of my favorite parts of going to conventions is the conversations you can have with great educators— The best ideas and inspiration come from those small, impromptu, deeply meaningful moments. Listening to this show is like having all those great conversations in one place. It’s the best PD any band Director could ever ask for.
