One, Two, Ready, Play! is the fictitious story of a band director's first teaching gig right out of college. Set in the mid-1970s in rural New England as students are beginning to rebel more openly, young Mitch Powers finds himself torn between the adult world of educators and the teenage world of his students. To make matters worse, anything that can go wrong, does! Author Michael Hathaway writes from 30 years experience, collecting stories that he cleverly weaves into a tale with a hint of truth and a lot of humor. He says it should be required reading for anyone thinking about entering the fields of music education!
