Jag weekly news, 4/1/18

Good evening band,

Before I post this news, I just wanted to say how incredible I know you all are, and how much I appreciate being your band director. But, like anything in life, all good things must come to an end. Beginning, effective immediately, I will be switching my profession to being a full time Trombone Professor at the University of Florida. There was an opening and it was something that I simply could not pass up. I hope that you all will understand. I will never forget my time with you at PSLHS, as it has truly shaped me into a better teacher and person.... I wish you all the best.




Oh, and by the way.....
