This week we continue our series taking a closer look at recruiting students for your band program, and we'll hear the second part of a conversation Nick Averwater had with Brittany Jerrell and Emma Lang. Brittany is Co-Director of Bands at Stewarts Creek Middle School in Smyrna, TN, a city of just over 50,000, 20 miles southeast of Nashville. Emma teaches at Trenton-Rosenwald Middle School in Trenton, TN, which is a town of 4,200 in West Tennessee, 75 miles northeast of Memphis.
In this episode we'll be learning more about how these educators communicate with the parents of students to let them know about the benefits of being in band. We'll also find out how they encourage students to join the band when there are so many other activities available to them. Our conversation was recorded December 11, 2024. We've broken it up into two episodes, and this is part two.
