A director's unique approach could be the key to top marks in elite state competition.

Director Lynn Kelsey takes a unique approach: there is no 'first chair, second chair' structure in her band. It's about support and excellence for all. Can it take a group to top marks in state competition? Includes preview performances of "North College All Stars," by Henry Fillmore, "American River Songs," by Pierre La Plant and "Joy Revisited," by Frank Ticheli. Hosted by WKAR's Peter Whorf.
