About this listen

In this episode, Mark and Aaron sit down with two first-year high school band directors in Arizona to share insights and tips for a smooth transition into a new program.

Ben Lynch, now leading the powerhouse Desert Vista High School band, discusses his journey to DV, how he approaches change as an “evolution” rather than a “revolution,” and gives a sneak peek at next season’s Western Band Association show in Chino Hills, California.

Sherri Lindsey, the new director at Paradise Valley High School and an Arizona native, talks about the impact of building the right staff and how pacing the season can set a band up for long-term success.
