Band and orchestra teachers often work together, but Gabe James and Chase Chang have a pretty unique setup. Since 2023, they have both split their days between Garry and Shaw middle schools to teach their respective specialties.
In their roles, they do more than help students stay in tune and keep the beat; they also stay in sync with each other to encourage Ravens and Vikings on their musical journey.
Music is a vital part of a student’s education. At SPS middle schools, all students explore music through band, orchestra, or choir so they can perform, create, and discover how music can connect us, enhance understanding, and inspire.
