The Editor’s Notes
Greene Central High School Band Director Andrew Howell was recently a guest on The Kelly Clarkson Show. Clarkson and Howell talked about a viral TikTok video that showed the band’s reaction to earning a superior rating at the NCBA Music Performance Adjudication. Shoutout to Greene County Schools and to educators like Howell who create such great opportunities for our students. You can watch the video clip from the show here.
