MYNDDCASTVirtual Rehearsals, This Middle School Band Plays On, Susan Meyer Patterson, Ep.29
Stepping outside her title, her norms, her comfort zone, being creative, being BRAVE, this Texas Music Educator ensures the band plays on. On March 16th, Mrs. Susan Meyer Patterson’s post found its way to my Facebook News Feed here in Central PA all the way from Conroe ISD, Texas.

Join me as I share Susan’s work to ensure the Band Plays On!
