Enthusiasm Sparks Washington High School Band Program
Larry Green, 26, directs Washington High School bands and likens public gigs at athletic events to final products. His jazz group travels about 45,000 miles in three years, with 150 public performances, including a Montreux trip and a second annual jazz festival featuring Arnie Lawrence. The concert band remains core, with 80 members feeding into jazz, brass, woodwind, and stage ensembles. Green seeks more space and academic credit for music, insisting the program builds depth, discipline, and teamwork across all students.
