The last two days have been truly amazing! Hinds Community College Band hosted our first High School Honor Band event featuring my dear friend and colleague, Robert W. Smith. We had two amazing bands (Gold and Maroon), two band director breakout sessions, and special performances by the Hinds Steel Pan Band and Hinds Wind Ensemble.

I am pretty excited about this opportunity! The grade 3 work I am writing for this project is inspired by North Carolina’s state song, The Old North State. Join the Consortium! HURRAH!

“Man Against Machine”, inspired by the folk tale of John Henry, offers an opportunity for your students to practice musical storytelling. This legendary story is an opportunity for SEL (social emotional learning) in your classroom as you discuss grit and work ethic with your students. The educational possibilities are endless with this well written and crafted composition for the young band!
