From the very first squeaks of “Hot Cross Buns” to the concert-worthy lavish lyrical sounds of “Danny Boy,” there is much magic and transformation that occurs within the four walls of her band room.After being fueled by many cups of coffee to sustain the never-ending insanity of middle school energy, she arrives home to the role of wife (to a wonderful husband) and mother (of an amazing little boy), cherishing every moment (okay, perhaps not the whining...).
