New Graduates to Play Band in College

Personal Attention from Band Director Inspired Students to Continue Band Careers

Ten members out of a class of 72 students from the Pinecrest Academy Class of 2019 will be playing in band in college.

Inspiration to continue band careers is fueled by the school's Band Director, Len Insalaca, who is able to spend quality time with each of his students, developing and nurturing their natural talents. Pinecrest's dedication to keeping class sizes smaller in order to provide personalized attention to each student allows for them to discover and grow their God-given talents.

The Band program at Pinecrest Academy is an example of this freedom to discover and explore, with the hands-on guidance of an award-winning Band Director and his team.
