Punk Rock Collaboration 05 with Mat Becker One of the awesome things we would see in punk is at shows when musicians from different bands would join forces on stage or when one of your favorite punk singers would lend their growl to some gang vocals on another band's record. We wanted to create that same thing here at PRC. For this Punk Rock Collaboration, Mike sits down to chat with Mat Becker, a band teacher in Lansing, IL. Mat is an award winning band director and aspiring school administrator. Mat shares how the COVID pandemic shifted his approach to directing students, how his strong relationships with them and their families helped them through the end of the school year, and how Mat will use what he learned during the spring in the upcoming school year. So get ready to pick it up, pick it up with this former Ska musician turned band director!
