Reviews

Color Guard Instructor

July 2019 Crystal Lake, IL
“I get to work with amazing students and staff members in the marching band at Crystal Lake Central High School. As a young instructor, it is extremely valuable to me that my work environment is a place where I am supported and respected. I get to instruct students the art of color guard, while learning and growing with them through each rehearsal. I am fortunate to work with a band director who trusts my expertise, while also remaining a mentor and role model as I learn how to be the best instructor I can be.”
