As we progress through the 3rd quarter, I spoke with the school’s band teacher to learn more about what was really going on in the band program.
This is Amanda Leonhardt’s second year running McClintock’s band programs, and so far she has done a wonderful job. The school’s participation in regionals has more than doubled and the scores received from judges at festivals have been exceptional.
She was inspired to begin teaching after her own high school experiences at Dobson High, where she had 3 directors who were, as she says, “always… raising me to a really high standard… and I decided I wanted to do the same for future students.”
You can see where she takes the band in the spring concert on March 5th, as well as the Pop Concert on May 7th.
