Such an amazing morning and way to end the week for our Concert Band & Wind Ensemble members!

We had the honor to experience world-renowned director, composer and clinician, Mr. William "W***y" Owens in person!

Originally from Gary, Indiana and now a resident of Fort Worth, Texas, Mr. Owens shared the story of his journey from musician to band director to composer and worked with both groups on a couple of his compositions that our groups have been rehearsing.

Each group ended their time with him with some Q&A and some quite thoughtful questions from our young musicians.

We're grateful to have this unique experience with Mr. Owens while he's in Chicagoland this week as the guest conductor for the District 7 Illinois Music Educators Association Junior Music Festival at Glenbrook South High School tomorrow.

Hats off on an impressive showing by our NBJH Bands musicians!
