Leanne! I read your essay “The Band Room” in Rappahannock Review, and was transported by it to high school and junior high band. I played flute and oboe. If I’d taken the opportunities I wasn’t aware I even had, I believe I would have become a music teacher/band director. Thanks for writing this piece.
Thank you, Liza! I love my job :) Writing that piece (and performing it at Lincoln Center— you can see it on YouTube) excavated the core of my passion for band.

Here to say: Yay, you! Reach around and give yourself a gentle pat on the back. You deserve it! 🎉👏🏼🥂
Aw thanks, Casey!
