We'll be using the resources provided by Scott Lang, a great educational and band leadership coordinator, to complete the leadership training process this year. All of the ideals that he has built for his own program over his 16 years of teaching and 16 years or leadership training are well in line with those that we hold here with the Concord Band Program. Please take this opportunity to do a self-study, with new items loaded as they are made available.
