Improving recruitment and communication

By: James Ellis

There’s a new band director in town

I have been assigned to a new school. I do not know the students. I do not know

what kind of experience they have. I do know how to audition students…with the

help of a podcast.

I propose…

I intend to post audition materials online. Any information students would like to know

about the band, about joining the band will be available online.

The podcast will contain:

A brief lesson in learning to read music

Examples of students playing the instruments

Plus to Podcast

Parents need motivation as well.

Podcasting is an excellent way to invite parents to participate.

Upcomming events can be communicated like a news broadcast.

Bragging rights. Students can take pride in

knowing their work is more than a grade.

A successful project can be seen all over the world…whatever it may be.
