![During zero period jazz band, Gabrielle Clouard, Jess Vicuna, Zachary Taylor and Mr. Kris Harper reminisce about their band experiences in one of the final classes taught by Harper. Harper is leaving to teach in an elementary school music program, as part of the passing of Proposition 28 to reshape performing arts programs in public schools. After 18 years of service, Harper’s position is being filled by a new music teacher, leaving many students both with questions and thoughts about Harper’s impact. “From a band teacher to student, the teacher will still be there, but there's definitely a connection the students have [that] won't be the same with another teacher. I think students will have to help other students adjust and adapt to a new teacher,” Mansour Brame said.
