we talked with kim about...wow. a lot. her upbringing in carthage, her rock-solid dedication to her students, appropriate plumage, her coloring hobby, meat parade, and more. featuring a phone call from robert herrings, and some text-to-confirm moments with dr. kevin sedatole and jarrett lipman.

did you know that robert herrings graduated from mcgregor high school? now you do!

robert is a four-time (yes, FOUR-TIME) honor band winner, who sometimes does cartwheels in the name of school spirit. he is an inspiring human, and is an unimaginably talented band director. he joined us to talk about his origin story, which includes his junior high band director, robin wilson. robin has designed all of robert's program books for tmea and midwest, and still supports him in all of his band endeavors. we talked about how impactful band relationships can be, pickles, bue ridge saga, robert's preferred chuy's order, and more!
