Teaching Marching Band

This year, I saw the opportunity to fill a void in structure by authoring and co-implementing BSHS's first ever marching band handbook. As a program that is young but quickly blossoming, the directors and I found it important to make the band's operation as efficient as possible while still leaving room for future growth. I drafted this document in the summer of 2025, pulling significant inspiration from my experiences in leadership roles at both Temple University and the University of Miami. This document was successful in the 2025 marching season, informing the syllabi and organization of other ensembles across our music program, and it will surely continue to be adapted and strengthened for future use. Additionally, it was debuted along with the program's first official leadership team comprised of a Drum Captain, Brass Captain, and Woodwind Captain. Student leadership has started, and will continue, to spread to other areas of our program, as the BSHS Concert Choir has also since debuted a high-functioning leadership team.

It provides the framework for the annual leadership training camp occurring in the days leading up to Band Camp.
