Contrary to popular belief, Mr. Laswell and his band class are GOATED. Full stop.
Class of 2020
Kind of the band equivalent to that class that you show up to everyday but don’t get anything from besides participation. There’s no instruction, no lessons, nothing really gained from an educational standpoint. The only time there’s any form of a lesson plan was when the vice principle would come in to evaluate and he would project some 5 minute rhythm lesson on the board. Not much to be learned unless you’re a percussionist, and not many opportunities. Could be a fun class to go to though, just not much learning.
