Season One
Take a ride with…
Kevin Sedatole, Richard Floyd, Jerry Junkin, & Frank Ticheli
Ep. 1 Teaching at Michigan (State)
Dr. Kevin Sedatole
Michigan State University
"How many things can you go to where it's really a joy to do your job? Yes; it's hard work, but you get to work with young people. You get to influence lives and you get to do it through music. And for me, as I realized in my first year of teaching, that was the most important thing." ~Dr. Kevin Sedatole
Ep. 2 A Short Ride in a (not so) Fast Machine
Mr. Richard Floyd
Texas UIL Music Director – Emeritus
"You can't predict peak emotional experiences. You can't say that on a certain day at a certain time that all the stars are going to align and it's going to be wonderful. You can't do that! But, the one thing you can do is always GO FOR IT. And if you do that every day, those 'magic' moments take care of themselves." ~Richard Floyd
Ep. 3 Riding in the Coke Truck with ‘Fuzzy’
Professor Jerry Junkin (pt. 1)
University of Texas at Austin
"There was one guy who sold more Coke than anybody else. [Fuzzy was] a very personable guy so everybody liked him on his route. But also, he would visit twice as many places everyday...it was hard work. He was always the first one out and last one back in." ~Jerry Junkin
Ep. 4 The Continuous Process of Evolution
Professor Jerry Junkin (pt. 2)
University of Texas at Austin
"Balance - what is balance?!? I think it's a constant struggle. It seems that if you're not trying desperately to find balance then something is slipping somewhere." ~Jerry Junkin
Ep. 5 Blue Line Tango
Dr. Frank Ticheli (pt. 1)
USC School of Music
"For one semester I was a High School Band Director. I didn't know at the time that I'd write a lot of music for young people. I learned things in that job that you can't learn from a book, from a classroom...I learned things that I didn't know I'd end up using decades down the road" ~Dr. Frank Ticheli
Ep. 6 Tell Me Your Name Again?!?
Dr. Frank Ticheli (pt. 2)
USC School of Music
"I’m starting a new piece and I’m a beginner again until I find the universe that that piece occupies. It often takes a LONG time to find that universe. That’s the scary part and that’s where you need the courage." ~ Dr. Frank Ticheli
