WINAMAC - Several Winamac Community High School band and choir students traveled to Concord Community High School in Elkhart last month to attend a leadership seminar led by famed lecturer, Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser.

Dr. Lautzenheiser is the founder of Attitude Concepts for Today, Inc. Dr. Lautzenheiser has worked as a collegiate director, and was executive director of Bands of America. He has held seminars that have included over 2 million students nationwide.

His hands-­on approach to leadership skills is specialized to the fine arts classroom.

The Winamac Music Boosters paid the registration fees for all participating students. Students were accompanied by directors, Elaina Sutton and Patrick Schuttrow.

Attending students were given the opportunity to share their lessons with classes. More importantly, they also had time to reflect on the challenges of becoming effective and efficient leaders in and outside the classroom.

WCHS fine arts students attending the leadership seminar Sept. 24 in Elkhart were (kneeling/seated l-r): Courtney Kopka, Emily Newman, Lorrin Alexander, Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser, Adam Wallace, Quinn McGovern and Corbin Scheffer; and (standing): Haleah Wilson, Hollie Parish, Cheyenne Crider, Dennis Klausing, Kiely Kasten, Elise Price, Shawn DePoy, Madeline Murray, Ryan Salazar, Abbi Brandon, Clark Gudas, Tanner Johansen, Taylor Smith, Troy Wiegand, Joshua Tankersley, Travis Werner and Gage Garpow.
