New Year, New Band
The 2019-20 school year brought a new band teacher to the North Platte, and the high school musicians had to adjust to a different way of learning music. Mr. Fedrizzi is not new to North Platte, but he is to this group of students. Already making strides, as they do every year, the band improved a lot from the middle of summer when they went to band camp to start learning the marches and music.
For anyone, adjusting to a new teacher or coach is not easy. “Change is always hard, for anyone. I hear coming in that Mr. Kauffman was a great teacher and a role model for these kids. The adjustment is slow, but we are really starting to come together and grow.” Mr. Fedrizzi claims.
“Coming in I knew this band was great,” comments Mr. Fedrizzi. He is excited to have inherited such a talented group of students and to see how much more they can grow.
