What happens when a visionary educator decides to plug in an orchestra? You get a revolution and a legacy. This podcast explores the over 30-year journey of Dr. Hankins, the mastermind behind the Lakewood Project and a pillar of our music department. While Hankins takes her well-deserved retirement, the music isn’t stopping. We’re diving deep into the student culture that makes our orchestra so special and meeting the new leaders at the helm: Mr. Dandron and Ms. Carson. It’s a celebration of where we’ve been and a front-row seat to where we’re going next.
