It is great to have students in the classroom learning daily. It is also a wonderful happening when those students move on from jr. high and high school and continue thier endeavors at the college level. However, better than both of those is when that same student returns and gives back to his alma mater by offering his talents to those younger.Zack is a great example of just that. He travels to Talladega each Friday from Jacksonville State University, where he is a music major, to give lessons to French Horn students at both Talladega High School and Zora Ellis Jr. High. We are very happy to have him and just as happy to have students open and willing to 'pick his brain' for any tips or knowledge that he may have. What better way to learn than from someone who has been exactly where you are sitting.

Way to go, Zack. THIS is how you learn to teach...by teaching! This is the best preparation you could possibly have to be a band director, and what you are dong now will pay big dividends when you graduate and have your own band.
It is an Honor to come back to my home school and help in anyway possible. I want to thank Mr. McDaniel, and Ms. Todd for allowing me to help out.
