Importance Of A Band Director

My band director is one of the most important and influential people in my life. He always helps boost my confidence in my playing abilities, and he always believes in me. I started band a year after everyone else, because my mom wanted me to focus on school for the first year of middle school. When I finally did join band in sixth grade, Mr. Sacco was very helpful and patient with me. There’s something he’s said that I believe is the best advice I have ever received : “It’s not the mistakes you make, it’s how you recover.” When marching band started during my freshman year, I heard those ten words at least once a week. Though I know Mr. Sacco meant this as if you miss a step or forget a rest, it’s okay, as long as you don’t react; recover
