Today I am talking with Tony Boldt who teaches at Kasson-Mantorville high school in Kasson, MN, just outside of Rochester. Tony is a passionate teacher working to build his dream program. Today Tony talks with me about program growing pains, splitting ensembles, and shares some of his experiences navigating his district’s recent auditorium construction; this and so much more. It was a lot of fun talking with Tony and I think you’ll find our discussion interesting!
