Last bit of news- the holiday concert season is coming up soon. If you are still looking for music to play for your holiday concert please be sure to check out A Joyous Fanfare. It is written by myself and it is completely FREE! Just go to the A Joyous Fanfare page and you can listen to it, download the scores and parts, even the individual parts (in case your students lose the music!).

The Band Director Board Game

Preface: Compete against other band directors to see who can make it to retirement.

Instructions: The school board wants to save money so they hire you as the new band director, instead of hiring the more experienced candidates, who would have been paid more. Congratulations on your new job! Roll the die and see if you can make it to retirement! First one there wins.

Game Over 1: After only one year of teaching you realize that being a band director is not for you. You quit!

Game Over 2: Becky did not get an A in band so her ruthless mom bribes the board and you're fired.

Game Over 3: You're offered a higher paying job as a cashier at a fast food restaurant.

Game Over 4: A clarinet spontaneously shatters in your face leaving you traumatized for life.

Game Over 5: The school has to make a decision to either keep sports or band. Big shocker here- you're let go.

Game Over 6: Paperwork literally eats you alive. Weirdest funeral ever.

Game Over 7: The school drops the assistant director position. You end up in an insane asylum.

Game Over 8: You leave one day and never come back. No one has heard from you since.

Game Over 9: You forget to proof the band banquet video you let the students make. It's so inappropriate we can't even talk about it here. You're fired.

Ending: Happy Reitrement! You can now spend your golden years helping out at local band camps, running honor bands, teaching private lessons, writing drill, conducting community bands, coordinating marching festivals, giving clinics, and bagging groceries at your local grocery store. You've never been more relaxed!
