Thank you, @spann for always speaking about your experiences in music education!
We hope you enjoy every minute of conducting the “Million Dollar Band” today! #ala4musiced
FULL CIRCLE: Fifty years ago I was in the Tuscaloosa High School band. A really bad French horn player. This photo was taken during my sophomore year. 
While I wasn’t much of a musician, the band experience provided me with many life lessons that would help me in the decades to follow. It was a wonderful experience.
This evening, I will have the honor of directing the University of Alabama Million Dollar Band in the National Anthem before the Alabama/LSU game at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
I marched on that field during my THS days (Denny Stadium was our home field)… I never dreamed I would be on the big ladder in front of the Million Dollar Band one day. But tonight it happens…
AMEA mourns the passing of Alabama composer, music industry education pioneer, conductor, and music educator Robert W. Smith.
Our heartfelt condolences to Mr. Smith’s wife, Susan, and his daughters Savannah and Madison.

The FY24 Department of Ed budget slashes funding below the 2006 level. Titles I and II along with several key programs supporting music education face elimination or drastic cuts. Learn more and urge your members of Congress to support education funding! bit.ly/SupportMusicEdFY24
