Remember that one student? The one who did it all?


He was the one who came early and stayed late. She always asked what she could do to help, and never shied away from any task. He quietly improved morale, she lead by example. They were a subtle and positive force in the classroom, behind the scenes, and on the field.

Those special students aren’t just born leaders. They are taught to be humble and helpful by the adults and peers in their homes, schools, and communities. The values and education necessary for the creation of such leaders–whether leaders by name or simply by example–is the business of any educator. And your band program can be a crucial step in their development.

What he brings to the program is something that we as band directors don't always take the time to do ourselves... Having Tyson around is like a breath of fresh air.

- Dr. Sue Samuels, University of Alabama at Birmingham

I felt like the student leaders need a little more than I could give them... We brought Tyson in and it was fantastic - the kids really responded to him... We noticed a big difference in our season because the leaders really stepped up more than they ever have.

- Dr. Mark Spede, Clemson University

 

Tyson brings a dynamic message that can change how you work. The stories and principles he shares can truly make a difference in your life and your band. His energy and passion are tremendous.
