Today’s conversation is with Pete Guenther from Owatonna High School in Owatonna, MN. Pete and I talk about the program at Owatonna high school and how he navigates leading a large program with a small staff. In addition we talk about his interesting connection with Alex Shapiro and electro-acoustic music and talking about band director health, balance, and the importance of not letting life in the classroom consume your life outside of the classroom. You are not going to want to miss this one!!
Before we get started, I need to mention that today’s episode is brought to you by Eargasam Ear Plugs.
Alright, onto my conversation with Pete.
Episode Overview
And that wraps up this episode. Remember that you can head out to thebanddirectorslounge.com for the links along with books and other resources mentioned in each episode.
If you know someone who would make a great guest on the show, please consider nominating them through this google form. This method will help me connect with directors outside of MN more as I will have an “in” with how to approach them about their programs. By the way, if you know of a great program but don’t know the director very well, you can simply nominate the program too! Many of the fields in the form are optional but just remember that the more information that you share with me, the better I can be about contacting them for the show. The nomination form is also on the facebook page and thebanddirectorslounge.com.
Thanks for tuning in! And we will see you back here next time in The Band Director’s Lounge.
