THANK YOU, TL! Mr. Tom Lizotte—known to everyone simply as TL—is retiring this month. During his 17 years as band director at CEHS, he has inspired many young musicians with his knowledge, humor, and kindness.

TL’s passion for music—and jazz, in particular—has been infectious. He has consistently demonstrated a talent for bringing out the best in his students, both in and outside of the band room. He has worked with kids of all musical abilities, many of whom have gone on to pursue music as a career.

His work has resulted in a nationally recognized jazz program, several award-winning student musicians, and a multitude of accolades—including this year’s prestigious John LaPorta Jazz Educator of the Year. But his success is perhaps best measured through the eyes of his students. Throughout this issue are quotes from ǴɖɀɎƏǔƺɯ!0R³ȅɖɀǣƬǣƏȇɀًƫɖɎɎǝƺɵȸƺˢƺƬɎɎǝƺɀƺȇɎǣȅƺȇɎɀȒǔ countless more.
