Casey Hands, Director of Bands now for 8 years, says “this is what people want.” ” You take our well rounded department, and have them collaborate, and it’s just like magic. I’ve never seen our department run so well like this before. Between Sean Boller, Renee Carmichael, and CJ Johnson, we all work really well together, and that’s what makes this group fun to work with.” The next event from the GCCC Music Department is Tuesday, November 17th.
