Description Steven Hendricks discusses his career as a music educator, detailing his start as Band Director at Carbon High School (1987-1989) and his later long tenure at Davis High School, culminating in his current role as Director of Bands at Weber State. He reflects on his musical background, his decision to pursue a Master's degree at BYU, and the profound influence of his mentors, particularly Glen Fifield and Derral Siggard, who were pioneers in Utah music education and inspired his own successes, including leading bands to the Rose Parade. He also shares his regret over removing the 1968 Rose Parade banner from Carbon High and emphasizes that a successful music educator requires being a good musician, a good teacher, and possessing a strong drive.
