Episode 207 - Consider a new scheduling model with beginning band as an exploratory

Join me as I chat with Band Director Tim Ostrow as he shares his proposal for beginning band class as an exploratory.

- What worked and what didn't - The beginning band tool you should get now, even if you aren't considering this model - Band retention under this model has been 90% or higher! - In December, parents help their kids decide whether to continue to band or move to another elective.
