Celebrating Women’s History Month With WBDI: Krystal William

Band Shoppe has once again teamed up with Women Band Directors International to highlight four women making a difference in the music education community. For the month of March we will be celebrating Women’s History Month by posting each Friday about these amazing women.

We are so thankful for our ongoing partnership with WBDI because of the way they inspire, educate, and provide support to women in the music community.
