So I'll keep going and try to keep track of planning for both contingencies!
The timeline of this whole procedure makes planning extremely difficult. Right now I would like to be planning for summer events like the Independence Day Parade and the Newport City Volunteer Band AND/OR my Summer Band with elementary students. Even more than that I'd like to be ordering new materials for next year. I don't feel right ordering for the elementary schools, because I might not be there and the new teacher(s) might go in a different direction. Obviously, I can't order for the high school either. since I don't have the job. This means I can't really plan next year's programs either, although I'd like to do so. I think I'm going to create sample programs, although I don't know the high school's library, budget, or next year's instrumentation or realistic capabilities. But where should I put it? I think I'm going to also create a wikispace for NCUHS band. If I get the job, I'll have a head start, and if not, then I can just delete it so someone else can use the name if they'd like. Wikis are a great way to go, because students can become engaged in online discussions regarding their music.

So I'm on to the next round! I'm going to keep brainstorming, using this weebly webpage to organize my thoughts. I think I need more thinking about marching band and jazz band. I enjoy working on it, so even if I don't get it, this is still a good use of my time. I do hope I get a chance to rehearse the high school band at least once....
Got some great suggestions from readers and edited the band page a lot yesterday. Then I organized the guitar page. I'm not really happy with the history of rock page, because it's really someone else words. I need to think about it and change it up to reflect more of my vision for the class. Lots of listening, maybe live demonstrations, and how rock music and society effect one another.
I updated and organized the BAND page tonight. It's the most important page to me, for sure. The other pages will see some attention over the next few days, but not as much as BAND. I'm sending the link out to some selected people for advice, but I'm not publicizing the link. I'm not sure the COMMENTS/SUGGESTIONS box is working yet.
Worked on the BAND page, which is really the most important page here. Cleaned up the guitar page, and added a bit to the other pages, though barely anything to the "world" pages.
Today I started working on a weebly. It seems like a good way for me to review the brainstorming I've been doing, and to get it organized. Maybe I can share it with selected people before my interview for their input, too.
