hanging Places After 21 years of being band director at Hauser, Charles Biggs decided it was time for a change. He made the switch from director of band to director of choir. When asked why, Mr. Biggs responded, I was tired of the same challenges year after year. I felt like 1 had run out of things to do. He said that some of the advantages of being choir director were that he no longer had the continual pressure to raise money, there were no basketball games to attend, and that things were just a little easier and more relaxed. I'm enjoying myself and haven't found any major disadvantages. Everyone's trying to cooperate with me and I think I'll probably stay with choir for now. I have no desire to go back to band.

Mr. Biggs and I went through college at two very different times, so our teaching techniques are different, but having him there can also be helpful. He knows most of the students pretty well and he also has a lot of contacts. Band member Shannon Andrews concluded, There are differences in each of their teachings. Mr. Nees stresses marching techniques counting, intonation, and memorization of the scales while Mr. Biggs was concerned with playing a larger variety of music but there are things that we learned from both.
