STUDENT LEADERSHIP POSITIONS

Band is much more than just a class. It is a large organization of which one individual cannot possibly operate all aspects. It should not only represent the band director?Äôs vision and desire, but also the students.

Section Leader

I will select a leader for each section based on student?Äôs ability to play the instrument and ability to lead. In some cases I may select two section leaders but I will try to avoid that situation.
