MARINE BAND CLINIC WITH MSGT JOHNSON

On Tuesday 3/9, Master Sergeant Johnson, a trombone player with the “President’s Own” Marine Band presented a clinic titled Becoming a Better Musician During a Pandemic. Students learned strategies for staying motivated, facing anxiety, and the simple yet powerful act of saying “today I will work to get better at my instrument.” MSgt Johnson also shared personal stories and answered questions. We are very thankful to the Marine Band for this opportunity!
