revkev Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I’m scheduled to retire at the end of the next school year. A little over a year from now. Our organist/band director took a job elsewhere. St Pete is a large cultural center do finding substitute organists has been easy enough. A part time Band Director? Not so much. My under grad is in Music Ed. I am/was an instrumentalist so that’s my area of “expertise.” Since graduated I’ve moonlighted professionally (trumpet), taught private brass lessons, sang ( still do) and directed choirs. I have not directed a band since student teaching in 1978. So my arm got twisted and in January I took over the bat-ton for our beginning and Middle School bands. When I took over I told them what every Director and coach does on the first day of practice - you are all equally important. Sometimes it’s a line of you know what but when you only gave 12 in a concert band it is most certainly true. My school has a huge choral tradition but historically our bands have not gee so great. They’ve earned an excellent (B grade) or two in competition but never a Superior - until yesterday! Because of them I can’t play to my current handicap index - they’ve taken up every minute that I would use to practice golf and eaten into my playing time. And I couldn’t be happier or prouder of a group of young people. My wife even said when I got home, “I guess you w found your retirement career!” Who knew - by the way the young lady being modest in the front row is a beast of a clarinetist - huge potential. cnosil, GolfSpy_APH, tony@CIC and 3 others 4 2 Quote Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60 Aldila R flex - 42.25 inches SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft Ping G410 7, 9 wood Alta 65 R flex Srixon ZX5 MK II 5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex India 52,56 (60 pending) UST recoil 75's R flex Evon roll ER 5 32 inches It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony@CIC Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Good for you @revkev - it's important to have a stimulating social environment after one retires.

revkev Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 Alright guys, full disclosure, I did have putter, wedge and sleeve of balls in the trunk. I may have stopped by the club for some chipping and putting as a little celebration after the festival. But the I went and heard the Florida Orchestra. I do love live music of almost any type. tony@CIC, cnosil and Kenny B 3 Quote Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60 Aldila R flex - 42.25 inches SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft Ping G410 7, 9 wood Alta 65 R flex Srixon ZX5 MK II 5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex India 52,56 (60 pending) UST recoil 75's R flex Evon roll ER 5 32 inches It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
